From the webpage:
  M848LU V1.2 is the most advance and unique module from
  PCCHIPS production. It supports Socket A for Athlon XP CPU,
  up to 333MHz FSB, DDR400 by overcloking, and AGP8X.
  It is surely the best choice for you now.

  * This specification is done by the overclocking technique.
    However, the overclocking technique might come with certain
    risks that we can not guarantee a normal operation with
    such a technique.

That seems slightly worrysome....
