I know they don't offer the o/c features of a single board, but what dually boards let you up the fsb or multi?

    The best dual amd board is the MSI K7D Master-L. FSB up to 150MHz, multis up to 13.5x (i think) in the bios, which is just about the best you'll get on a dually board. The 760MPX doesn't lock PCI/AGP clocks, and was designed for 100/133FSB anyhow, so you aren't likely to get much more than 150 out of one...

    Dual processor motherboards aren't usually overclocking choices. The Gigabyte is pretty sad at that aspect.

    I was basically looking to see what other boards I could use for doing this

    Not any other options really. The MSI is the best OCing dually board around, and it's reliable, relatively cheap, and not fickle... it's really the best dual amd board around.

    The k7d is really it.

    Is this a good dual board for the price?

    if you don't want to OC, don't mind a crap-tacular bios (from the tweaker's pov) and the lack of room for mongo-size coolers, then yes, it's a good board...

    That's an MPX based board... that _should_ be mint.

    Here's what I got told about MP vs MPX chipsets..
    And the two main differences in a MP and MPX are
    1) a mpx is supposed to be able to run two sticks of regular non
    reg/ecc DDR in the four slots. Some do and some don't in real life. When using non reg ram its sorta iffy. Many having probs seem to all gel out with reg ddr. I have been lucky. Both mine have eaten Mushkin, Corsair, Samsung and Crucial without a burp and only thrown up on normal no-name ram. Flintstones wouldn't even boot with expensive pc2700 samsung
    in it.

    2) The MP's 64bit slots run at 33mhz and the slots are 5 volt not 3. This makes a difference as not all older 64 bit cards are keyed on the slot itself to fit into a 3 volt slot. They have another notch in the slot itself at the front.

    That's the same base chipset as the KD7-Master, how much mileage with O/C against the MSI.. I have no clue. But for a dualie board, it's a good price.
