“Overclock really easy for this mobo “say khurios2000, only using stock chipset voltage easily to get 486Mhz, but remembered if your motherboard still using bios version 0301, then overclock will be in the figure 300Mhz, flash to bios the version 0401 at once resolved the problem.
Along with this was the validation overclock highest/stable:

Memory Overclocking
This results overclock memory with 2GB kit Buffalo PC8000:

520Mhz, 4-4-4-8, 2.25v, Orthos Blend 30 Min stable

Asus P5N-E SLI could be ascertained to the answer for the users SLI + Core 2 Duo not only spending much money. This mobo prices was worth for the performance and price.
650i gave the special attraction that is overclocker and they yg want to using SLI with the price around $130-150.
