Note: FSB frequencies not offered in 1MHz increments when a * is present. **USB 2.0 support is offered on the Intel D850BG but not on the model we received; the same is true for network support.
The one thing that is instantly noticeable about these first boards is that not a single one of them can compare to the first generation of 845 motherboards in terms of maximum FSB attained with all DRAM banks populated. We may see that change in the future as boards mature even more, but for now it's not a reality.
