Multiplier and Vcore adjustment for ECS N2U400-A?

Don't ask how to over-clock.

Hi,
I have the chance to buy an ECS N2U400-A MB and XP2600+ for US$89.99 this weekend. I researched and discovered the BIOS has no facility to change the multiplier or Vcore. There are 2 BIOS'es available from the manufacturer, but neither address this. The latest (1.0b) is at:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/download/dw_spec. ... uct_id=380

Is it possible for me or someone else to add this functionallity? If yes, I need to go get it!

I could find no reference to this MB anywhere on this site, thus my question. Its pretty new, and ECS's first Nforce MB. I could not find the old BIOS upgrade section either. Is it gone?

Thanks,
Jim

I'm not sure if I would buy the board, mainly because I have heard some mixed stories about the quality and reliability of those boards.

No multiplier/voltage control possible with this budget board .
I wouldn't buy an nForce2 board from ECS,too - better get Abit/Epox/Shuttle

Good quality with low price comes from Asrock (K7S8XE Series)
