ASUS K8N-E Deluxe Socket 754 motherboard

From a physical standpoint, the K8N-E Deluxe is fairly impressive. The board comes with a solid collection of features that left us wanting very little. Sporting 5 PCI slots and 1 AGP slot, the K8N-E is built with expansion in mind. Some may argue a 6th PCI is always a plus, but in this case we think it won't be missed. With the NFORCE 3 supporting SATA natively, this board comes with a total of 6 SATA RAID connections. The chipset drives the two mounted near the AGP slot and a Silicon Image SATALink chip drives the other 4 near the case connections. Additionally, the 2 native SATA ports support RAID 0, 1, 0+1, and JBOD, while the SIL3114 controllers offers the same plus RAID 5. The board also comes with 2 common IDE ports and a floppy connection for legacy support.

"By adjusting the multiplier setting to 9.5X, we reached a peak bus of 232MHz, which resulted on the processor running at 2.2GHz. "

232 max FSB?
just like my MSI K8N Neo

Isn't that a bit very low?

Or don't you have much oc-settings on that MSI?

some MSI seems to reach higher
Anandtech's review has the MSI at 270 1:1 sync
