If you buy 975X at this time, I have to say the Intel BadAxe2 is the best of the lot and the next BIOS release will pretty much put it ahead of any Intel board on the market in clock for clock performance. I am running at 9x432 with a E6600, nothing special really, but the board has been doing it for a week now, 24/7 with constant loops of Nero Recode and 3D06 for about 16 hours a day and Orthos for the other eight with X1950CF, three WD150 in RAID 5, and two 750GB Seagate External drives hanging off the USB ports for running the test apps. If you have a X6800, run this board at 12x330, it stays in the 200 strap, and just walks off and leaves the other Intel boards in the dust. The next BIOS will give us additional timings and tweaks for the memory along with some internal timing improvements on the MCH clock. Review coming shortly and the Kentsfield is now running at 9x415 on it.
Just what I wanted to hear as I was dwelling on this for a while and waiting for some reviews. Think I'm finally gonna go with this (XBX2).
