ASUS Berkeley-GL8E is it slowing down faster parts?

[satire.Guy]

Recently I was tolled that my motherboard, an ASUS Berkeley-GL8E, may be preventing other parts of my system from performing at their full potential.

I have a Q6600 processor, 3GB RAM, and an Nvidia 8800 gts video card. Is my motherboard preventing my computer from running at its best?

it doesnt seem to be... unless it didnt have a high enough fsb or the pci-e slot ran at x4.

but according to the specs there arent any problems like that

Being a HP/Compaq board it probably doesnt have any overclocking features but running at stock settings theres not that much difference between chipsets but a few points one way or another. If its running stable it should be fine.
