Everest Memory Benchmark
While not truly indicative of real world performance, Everest's memory performance tool is widely recognized as a bona-fide benchmark of gauging the effects of memory and chipset performance tuning. We lined up a number of boards under similar timing ranges and stock performance to see how they compare with one another at the stock 9.5x333FSB versus tuned for best stable performance at 500FSB.
The Black Ops fares really well in all tests, losing out only to the Striker II Extreme in Read Bandwidth. It will be interesting to see if any of these gains, however small, are reflected in the upcoming benchmarks.

I disagree. A company that gets called on a screwed up practice, and gets tons of bad press, will always try to justify itself and if they see potential profit loss, they will say whatever they can to calm things down. We still don't know for sure if it was intentional or not, we only have their word for it.If they had not been called on it, things would have stayed broken. Many companies do screwed up things, and the best thing we can do is show them that look, you go against your customers needs, and you will suffer for it, in the only way they care about, that is loss sales. So I say support your alternative OSes, boycott Foxconn.

Good luck on trying to boycott Foxconn. The vast majority of their business is not in retail motherboards -- it's in the manufacturing of game consoles, cell phones, and various electronic components. Any motherboard you buy from another manufacturer is more than likely going to have some Foxconn components in them.
