ASUS Secretly Overclocking Motherboards?

Hubert writes "It seems that the motherboard manufacturing industry is getting a little bit too competitive now that ASUS and many other manufacturers are secretly tweaking and overclocking the motherboard in default BIOS settings." A front side bus that's a mere 2 MHz faster may not seem like much of a tweak, but it's just enough to gain an edge over the competition.

Pair this story with the little quote of the day "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Coincidence?

Article?

[Anonymous Coward]

Sorry. Is there an article linked? I saw some preamble and some advertising and some gratuitous web dross, but an article? I'm afraid I missed it.

How do you underclock it to 199MHz?

You have a little drawer full of 199MHz crystals, or does your crystal oscillator have a knob on it?
