After a few weeks of burn in, my rig is still stable @2.4GHz with 150fsb. This is a 1.6a in an Abit IT7 mobo, running "true" Samsung PC2700 @400MHz (150fsb with 3:4 multiplier). PCI/AGP bus is locked @33, btw.
Temps with retail hs/fan are 39 idle to 54 load, and that's with the retail TIP. I am going to replace it with some AS3 soon and see if I can push it lower, and if so I will start upping the fsb again and see how far I can push it.
I should also note that my vcore and ram voltage is the default 1.5 and 2.5. I did not have to tweak it at all to get this oc. I certainly attribute this to the quality of both the 1.6a and the Samsung ram, but at the very least the mobo is not a factor for instability. I reamain quite impressed with it.
Looking forward to hearing other experiences with this board.

Sounds nice... I have the same memory/processor as you do... Do you think it is worth the extra money to get the IT7 over the BD7II?
