It's good to hear that 4.0Ghz isn't out of the question with the memory I have. I haven't done too much overclocking before, so I'll probably read a bit more before I try it.

It says here that it will work with the xeon.

I read the manual and the board looks pretty nice. Do you think it will give me any trouble with the xeon?

The thing is, I can't really use the Dell server as my main computer until it has sound. It only has PCIE slots so I can't just stick my old sound blaster in it like I had originally planned. I'm already looking at $50 for a PCIE sound card, so I was thinking why not spend $85 and get this board so I can overclock?
