How about which 2.4 overclocks better, the 400 or 533?

I would personally get the 533 because you can get a higher FSB with it.

1.) It doesn't run stable with DDR400
2.) It doesn't run stable with AGP8x
3.) There is a board with the same chipset that has neither of these problems. This would indicate the manufacturer is the problem.

Yeah it is true :/ I have set a system up with this board myself...

Although its not true with every board a great number of people are reporting problems.

And to be honest with that board I would probably get the lower clocked PIV as the P4S8X doesn't like too high clocks either !
