The bios
The first page with the menus
My favorite, the overclocking page 
Health menu. This is good to check sometimes.

Overclocking results
I was able to get the P4 2,4 GHz to 2,98 with still beeing stable. But at 3,07 GHz my memory could not take it. So the final result was 18*167 was stable at 1,725 V byt my memory could not take the pressure. So this means that the board itself has more to give but you need some newer better DDR memory than I had at home.
You can use either Bios or the program Easytune that you can find on the CD for overclocking in Windows.
Conclusion
The board comes with good features as Raid and Sata. Also with onboard sounds and lan makes this a great choice for people that want a new motherboard at the moment and choose to go with P4. Overclocking was really good on this board but remember to get good memory also The motherboard is rock stable and performs well compared to other motherboards. Also, you get a bunch of manuals for all different features and a bunch of cables so you never have to buy those. Bad things then? Well I could not find much but there has to be something so I guess I’m missing some firewire ports for use with Digital camera etc. But I will not count that as a bad thing since I know barely any manufacturers use that on their boards.
I give this board 5 out of 5 and a recommendation for quality and good overclocking capabilities!
Pros:
+ Lan,Raid,Sata,Sound
+ Overclocking is really good
+ Stabil board
Cons
- Missing firewire
Red&Blackness gives it 5 out of 5 dots
