Yeah I thought it would be faster too.... I was running my "Sierra" settings... I think they are pretty close to what you run in A64 Tweaker...

| I found it is better to set all the timings in the BIOS. I sometimes get not-so-great Pifast times. The OS may be deteriorating. I'm probably going to do a reformat over the weekend. But I hate to mess with things because the CPU speed I'm getting right now is very good. |

| As a matter of a fact I was using your exact timings.... I checked your post from a few pages ago. I wonder if it makes a difference that you are now setting up your OC in the bios rather than using A64 and clockgen... plus all the other settings I still don't know how to optimize

| Sometimes when I use the Tweaker, I'm not sure the new settings are taking hold. Of course, I'm using the 13 multi and timings can be tighter because RAM speed is lower than yours. |

PS....Lets know if DVI will work at 1920x1200 in sli, I think the 6800 video cards are limited to 1600x1200 in DVI? By the way that's a great price.....

i know there has been talk of sli driver problems (which i hope will be fixed by the time the monitor comes in) but i can't believe that the 6800 ultra doesn't support widescreen monitors that have over 1600+ horizontal resolution. why would dell even release lcds 2005, 2405 that no video card available for their computers can support....... hopefully next weekend i will have all the parts in to find out....

| Is anybody using the extra power connectors (4pin HDD-type/4 pin FDD-type) with their Ultra-D boards? I've read it only helps if you are running Dual Graphics Mode. I'm having tons of stability problems and I'm running everything at default. I get many BSODS, random reboots, won't load windows, reboot loop, loose display after turning off monitor, and numerous program crashes/freezes. My memory tests fine. Ran it in another board for months with no trouble. Same goes for HD. I'm getting ready to throw this board in a fire. DFI sucked back in the day, shouldn't see why they haven't changed now. Now I have to find another board to try. |

| What BIOS are you using? If you're using two graphics cards, then you probably should use the additional power connectors. I'm using only one card and don't have the extra connectors plugged in. Check your BIOS settings. Here are some tips from the DFI forum. Good luck. |
