Surprised to see Ivy bridge support for my GA-P67A-UD3! Some questions though.

I am happy you have supported this board so much, it was inexpensive*blush*
so thank you so much for the support.

So questions:

What does this mean for pcie bus? Still 2.0 or become 3.0 due to the controller being in the cpu?

Ram overclock past 2200? Ivy bridge has bclk133 so.... does bclk now become 133??
I would love to oc past 2200 to 2400, etc.

Thanks for the support, I know right now multiplier is locked but I am happy
if I can reuse this board with a non "k" processor.

No. As far as I'm aware, no P67 boards are PCIe 3 ready.

The 3770k/3570k have a bclk of 100mhz...

This is really confusing.  You will get a tiny (if any) benefit from that ram overclock, but a massive benefit from the processor overclock.  Not sure what  your reasons are there.  Not sure if the RAM oc will increase, probably would.  But the k processor will be unlocked in a new bios coming soon... that's the smarter move to focus on.
