Ahum...
Met een i945-chipset halen ze niet meer dan 224MHz. Dat dat een Asrock is boeit geen steek.
Waarom weer die onnodige en onzinnige focus op het merk bord (dat niet enorm relevant is) ipv op de chipset (dat wel 100% relevant is)

Je hebt gelijk, maar ook weer niet:
It seems, according to extensive tests of the owners of this motherboard and ASrock support, that the FSB wall has to do with the clock generator (and the 945P chipset, perhaps internal dividers) and not with the BIOS.
As we know the FSB hits a:
-300 MHz wall for FSB1066 CPUs like E6x00
-224 MHz wall for FSB800 CPUs like E4300 (that's my case)
-150 MHz wall for FSB533 CPUs like Pentium D 805
I found another board from Abit (Abit AL8 with 945P chipset) that hits 224 FSB wall with FSB800 CPUs.
Like others Abit board, it features the uGuru tweaking utility for advanced overclocking.
Users managed to break the 224 FSB wall with FSB800 CPUs and could reach the upper wall at 300 FSB by changing the changing the "N/B Strap CPU as" setting to PSB1066 - which is available through uGuru.
See article here (in "Overclocking"):

Although no such option is available in the ASrock BIOS, to me, this seems to be kind of hope, at least for owners of FSB800 CPUs:
If we could manage to find a way to fool the motherboard so that it handles FSB800 CPUs as FSB1066 CPUs, this couls leads to a potential good overclock (300x9=2700 Mhz) for E4300 Core 2 Duo for instance.
Dus JA, het heeft te maken met de chipset, maar kan dus door de BIOS omzeilt worden, en dat is toch echt weer afhankelijk van het merk bord...
