Default ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 thoughts anyone?

I was considering getting this mobo as an upgrade some time in the future. It runs AM3 cpus, DDR3 1800 1600 1333 and 1066. On Newegg a reviewer says he was easily able to unlock his tricore to run all 4 cores, and it has lots of overclock potential... Any thoughts?

And here's some nice ram, start out with 4 gigs, go 8 later...
