Seems like i got your goat and though i did not want to undermine your efforts in any way but you took things more seriously than what i was saying.
-it is you who was reluctant to upgrade the BIOS.
-It is you who didn't know about FSB holes (Funky had mentioned it in his thrd iirc) and admitted that you wouldn't have tried more if u didn't have OCed you proccy to 2.9G on the P5B and if TE Experts didn't help you.
-It is you who says Funky gave you the
specific working fsbs.:O
-it is you who questioned the P5NE-SLI's budget OCing prowess.
You declared it bad w/o knowing the whole issue.
I guess overclocking is about working your way around obstacles and unleashing the max potential of your h/w.:cool2:
That's why i asked if you comprehend OCing as a zero effort task or spoonfeeding- not necessarily applicable to your case- but what you thought it was.
Coz you yourself said i am baffled though i not new to overclocking and hence that was a mock question- a joke.:no:
If the P5NE Sli is crap, why woud budget
OCers get it over the awesome and proven P5B these days, on which you managed 2.9G.
Ohh- maybe you didn't try higher- my bad.
Coz there are some who give up and then go around badmouthing stuf when in the first place they haven't tried enough and again- i am speaking in general.:cool2:
Such ppl would in such a case, give up, go back to their P5B and sell their P5NE saying just bought for friend, tested but do not need.
That's why the congratulations in the first place- coz you kept asking the right questions, fought on and you have emerged a wiser person with a much better OC.

Coz that's the best part about OCing.
Now what did i say wrong.:ashamed:
