ASUS Overclocking Problems

I have just upgrades my motherboard to the ASUS M4N2 SLI board, now the board itself is pretty nice but there is something that is really annoying me - The board seems to have had pretty much all the overclocking features removed and so there is not much I can do with it. I cannot increase the VCORE to more that 1.200 and there is no HTT Multiplier or ram timings. All in all the board is a bit poo. I have tried to do a bios update but that has offered me still none of these features. What does anyone suggest I do? am I missing something?

Thanks
 
Pretty sure your board is a M2N4 SLI not a M4N2 SLI but I found this

The nForce4 SLI chipset was always a great performer, so not surprisingly, at stock settings, the M2N4-SLI held its own against the more expensive motherboards based on newer ATi and Nvidia chipsets. The BIOS is another matter altogether, though, as it doesn't allow you to increase the vcore or chipset voltage, although you can increase the RAM voltage to 1.95V. Given that the JEDEC standard for PC2-5300 DDR2 DIMMs is 1.8V, the M2N4-SLI provides barely any ability to overvolt your memory. The FSB can be increased to an optimistic 400MHz but, as there's no option to increase the vcore, we only succeeded in overclocking the FSB of our test CPU from 200MHz to 220MHz. Even when we dropped the CPU multiplier from 11 to 5, the highest stable FSB that the M2N4-SLI managed was a pitiful 230MHz.
