This might well be a slow trickle of details but heres what I have so far:
*RAM clips interfere with GPU.
*board is narrower than a normal ATX board- same width as a 7900GS
*NB runs hotter than the Giga boards, thats for sure! Flip-side of this is that it "feels like" it will scale with lower temps
*Doesnt clock RAM as well as the Giga P35 series BUT numbers are just numbers- the performance is at WORST on a par. Still checking settings
*RAM straps are a bit odd.... settings like 200/266 266/667 and 333/800 arent easy to interpret
*first boot: 400FSB. 3rd boot: 500FSB. (dual-core) thats the max of my chip
*has a good selection of RAM timings to play with...a lot that dont show up in Memset, so I have no clue what they do....yet
*4-phase, with what looks like 3 FETs per phase
*floppy connector at bottom of board
*NB has a warranty void if removed sticker crossing between the heatsink and the PCB
*VDIMM tracking is good- BIOS matches DMM readings, within 0.03V (thats not droop, thats delta- big difference)
*not checked other voltages yet. still prodding. 7900 makes FET checking hard. Might swap out for PCI 5200 tomorrow to get the rest of the readpoints
*6 USB ports on the back

only immediate difference is Blood-Iron logo instead of Infinity.
