There are no AM2+/AM3 boards :P At least AM2 boards' cpu support list stops at X2 models (Brisbane/Windsor).

On the other hand, s.939 is not included :(.

 

Hm.

 

I'll update the AM2 stage to S754/S939/SAM2 or so ?

That could be better. However I don't know if AM2 boards have a chance - not played much with Brisbane/Windsor. Ask Knut about this :D.

If you make it so, I'd have 2 stages to compete in, otherwise it would be s.A only :P

Or could search to buy AM2 board.

The AX78 officially supported Agena 9500 and 9600's.;)

But still own the NF7-S that did 281 FSB :P

Oh I'm fully aware that you do.:D

None of my socket A Abit boards will beat that, so it's off to the BE6-II. I'll still submit in socket A but don't really have a chance. It'll be fun though.:)

Pretty sure I still have an AN8 here too............somewhere.

New to competitions here...

 

How do you have a reference clock overclock competition?

I have an E8500 sitting around so I am trying to snag a cheap 775 board.

i dont have any more boards left. i feel bad for such an iconic brand to die out but it's a lesson others are well aware of. i remember spending a lot of time testing abit boards i bought with my own money to try help them improve. i compiled lists of issues on support forums and hoped that someone would pay attention and care about their own product to improve but no. It was a let down. Things were sliding backwards for years and everyone gave up pretty much long before final siren went off.

I like this idea of this comp as well.

I'll have to try the Abit's I have and see how well they'll do.

I'll even give the KV7 a shot just for kicks while I'm at it.
