First, thank you to Paul for making this suggestion; I appreciate the<br>
effort that went into it.<br>
<br>
To sweeten the deal a bit, I'd be willing to throw in some overclocking<br>
code for the KCMA-D8 if the community made this happen. I developed<br>
the overclock on the side for use with my personal gaming rig, and have<br>
been running a single HE Opteron at a 4.2GHz core clock vs. the stock<br>
~2.5GHz(?) base clock. Until now there really was no way to overclock<br>
the Opterons, but I was able to figure a method out with some fairly<br>
decent results.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
