Will the first AMD PCIe MBs have probs with PCIe non-lock?

[Karma Police]

Instead of a AGP/PCI non-working lock, will there be problems with the first PCIe boards not overclocking well from a PCIe non-working lock?

Is there any basis for this possibility?

Well, everything is possible .
I don't think though it will be a problem. Both nvidia and via have now worked out the issues with the non-working locks, and I'd be suprised if they wouldn't get it right with pci-express the first time, unless of course the chipsets would be based on older designs than those with the working AGP/PCI locks (which is surely impossible in the case of nvidia). And the motherboard manufacturer surely will implement it correctly too I hope.

Since the AGP/PCI is linked to the frequency of the FSB, I can understand why some manufacturers ran into that problem. But is a PCIe linked to the FSB/HT (in AMD boards) in the same manner or in a different way?
