He wasn't the one who leaked it. he's just an idiot who is cashing in on linking.

does anyone know what the MAX speed of CPU the motherboard will support?
you can even goto a core2quad q6600. its not offically supported by the chipset but i have been inform it does work. i have one on the way at the moment so will be able to give my own input soon.
edit: just checked and 3.6 is the highest in mainstream CPUs and 3.76 with an extreme edition CPU.
Edit2: link to all supported cpus

OK, so I changed the grapchic card, but as you can see, after changing it there is no room left to power the grapchic card from the PCIe connnector, so I had to change the fan to the other side. The reason for that is that the Type X2 that come with a Celeron and a X1300LE graphic card, like the Model 102A come in a case that is wider but less deep.
After that I also changed memory to 1GB and everything worked perfect. I also change the processor to a P4 just in case....

Yes they are different and if you don't power the graphic card from the extra connector it goes much slower and you get a warning sygnal that video card is not powered and will run in a slow safe mode.
What is that other card you have installed there? A different I/O board??
I wish someone would sell firmware-flashed video cards that work with the X2.. It seems to be my final bottleneck now that everything else has been maxed out. Would love to play Crimzon Clover at max settings, but the stock card can't seem to handle all of the explosions. I don't have a DOS capable computer, and the last 3 cards I bought used are the wrong type... lol.. 
niko has provided a .img file for easy writing to usb with a freedos and tools setup for flashing the GPUs.I wish someone would sell firmware-flashed video cards that work with the X2..

[Taito Type X2] Flashing a GeForce 7900 with Elsa 979 BIOS
as for GPUs that are picky about the firmware all you need to do is dump the original firmware and and open the file in NiBiTor and change the sub vendor id and sub system id to match the TTX2 original GPUs
I'll see if i can get a freedos setup on a hdd to boot on the ttx2. I dont think the bios is doing anything funky during boot besides not allowing usb booting. If all goes well ill aend you an img file you can write to a sata hdd.Unless I can run any of that on the actual Taito X2, I really don't have access to anything that can. I have a house and workplace full of Mac laptops and computers without PCI slots.
i think he means the I/O board that comes with those TX2, they plug into a PCI slot and not to the motherboard header like the regular I/O boards for the TX2
I always wondered if they offer any kind of benefit... Like reduced latency
(who knows...)I've seen people selling flashed cards on eBay for 100$
Dont do that... I feel bad when people sells that kind of stuff... If you provide me with a 7900gs and some candies, I'll reflash it for you
I did like 10 cards in the last months lol, 7900gs, GT, GTO (Never got the GTO to work thought)
Currently I have a XFX with custom cooling and quite overclocked. You don't need the overclock for the standard TX2 set, but with those PC conversions and MAME is not that bad idea
Going by that list, the Pentium 4 662 (P) seems to be the fastest CPU with the same or better TDP as the Pentium 4 651 that came with my X2. Is that right?
