We all know that there is no PCI lock on any K8T800. However, this link to an Athlon 64 info page on Mushkin's website declares that the Promise contoller on the Asus K8V board has a "locked" frequency. You'll have to scroll down to the heading "The boards currently most in demand for the Athlon64 are:" and read the *.

Question number 1, does the K8T Neo have an identical Promise controller to the Asus K8V (I think it does)? Question number 2, is it even possible for any SATA/PATA controller to "lock" it's frequency since it's on a PCI bus? Question number 3, can anyone verify that this frequency is locked or not?

I know there are software tools out there to check the hypertransport speed, etc. but is there a tool that could test the speed at the controller? If this link from Mushkin is true, then you would be crazy to overclock on anything but the Promise controller given the history of this board scrambling hard drives when overclocked.

Actually, it's a 4.5 pound Smallmouth Bass I caught at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia last March. It was taken with a digital camera and I had to shrink down the size to fit here, but no editing was done. It's the real deal. Almost worthy of a citation, missed it by a half pound or a half inch.
