My FSB is at plain old 100 MHz since I have regular PC100 SDRAM. Overclocked, or not, I get the same results. I, too, had an ABIT KA7[-RAID] and it was rock solid. So much for "if it's not broke, don't fix it" -- I should have listened to my gf, but that's the life of an upgrader ;)... In general the IWILL got great reviews at a number of reliable hardware review sites, and hey, it doesn't lock up in windows ;) (ok don't flame me for that ;)). --Seth
