Im buying this Motherboard simply because its only $5 after shipping and rebates. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=13-139-147&DEPA=0
I was wondering if I can expect any overclocking from this at all.

    That's not *quite* true... there are plenty of boards out there that don't let you overclock anything at all; no FSB or multiplier adjustments, no vcore adjustment, no nothing.

    Tyan, Supermicro, and Intel boards, to name 3, almost never have any overclocking options at all.

    you said nothing about cost; you said that "you can overclock an any motherboard". Nowhere did you mention price. :Pwned:

    All cars are slow..

    Except for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Shelby, Saleen and a few others. But they don't count, because they're not cheap.

    :p

    WARNING!!!

    There must be a reason Soyo is no longer producing new mobos. They went from a large OEM mfgr to making shoddy enthusiast componants to none is just 3 years.
