Ahh so!

Yeah I need to down load it, as the book & CD manual are next to nothing for good info.

I hear ya, that's a pain when your trying to get setup!

Well I finally gave up and went to T2 to get stable @ 300mhz. My timings are 2.5 3-10-3, 1:1, 273mhz, multiplier 11. Passed Supper pi, memtest no error's, doom3 runs great! This is with the 704-2 bios. Using Corsair 3200XLPT 2X512 sticks. These memories have the TCCD 437 chips. I can also get stable @ 267mhz @ 1:1 @ 2937 @ 2-3-10-3, 11 multiplier and T1. By the by this is using the yellow slots.

and the only real performance you loose by doing that skully is benchmark memory bandwidth.

drive strength 7 and data drive strength 2.

Yeah 3 may be to weak. These DFI mobo's take alot of tweaking. It is a great hobby/oc'ing for a retired person with time on their hands. Not that I have lots of time!!

it is good for me now too, as i have a lot of homework to work on and it forces me to not use the computer for playing games or something non-productive, although i still seem to end up on abx...
