While it is a little slow for Foxconn to be still fine-tuning their Intel Bearlake P35 chipset Overclocker's Motherboard, this upcoming Motherboard from the new MARS series of Motherboards, does seem to know the Overclockers' Psyche well, if the BIOS is anything to go by! An exploration of the BIOS will explain better...

I'd never had thought of a medieval theme for a boot-up screen of a Motherboard called MARS, but I like medieval stuff, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I guess "Gladiator BIOS" somewhat explains the Medieval theme.

It is good to see the voltages monitored in the PC Health menu not stingy:

Instead of just the bare minimum power supply rails and VCore, you also get DRAM and Northbridge chipset real-time monitoring. That's one tick towards the overclocking direction.

Russell Crowe ought to be proud of what's in here, the Gladiator BIOS menu. You get control over CPU-supported features, as you see in the lower menu:

PMM Mode is a vague option, but I've seen a Foxconn Engineer change it to SMM mode from Native mode when overclocking.

Very adequate Memory Timing Selections so no one will have anything to complain here!
