Nope but I'd go with something like this if not o/cing(btw why buy this board if you aren't o/cing? You would be fine with a less expensive solution I'd think?)

why on earth are u paying out for the DFI if not overclocking? If your not then any RAM rated to pc3200 with ok timings will be fine no matter what make.
At stock speeds higher quality ram just doesn't have much of an advantage over lower speeds.
Where the sweet spot is at for ram such as the g.skill I suggested for O/Cing is when you start getting at higher FSBs. Where running a 280+ FSB at a 1:1 ratio with your memory at 1t and lower timings such as 2.5-3-3-7 or whatever it may be is greater than what value ram will usually give you, as it will sometimes only run at 2t, need the use of a divider etc.
I understand the bios change, but can you state what the hardware change was? Is it something that will help OCs or cure any certain issue? Can you elaborate?Quote:

I think most definitely they will fix the NB fan clearance issue.
Sorry, don't have a Winchester, in fact I have never had one. So I never got the chance to even see the sub-0 cooling bug the chips have.Quote:

It isn't an issue. It's the same on all of the Nforce boards.Quote:

The TwinMos Speed Premuim RAM wouldn't be bad its something like ~90 bucks at newegg for a 512mb stick and reacts to volts like OCZ VXQuote:

Wonder...maybe the early board won't be as good as the ones say a few weeks the launch date. Who knows, maybe its something small?

Perhaps a fix for the ati card problem, or MAYBE(really doubt this though, as it is very far fetched), they re arranged the SLI mobo to give more space between the pci-e x16 slots.
what ati card problem? if ur talking about clearence, it affects the nvidia cards even more so since nvidia cards are longer.(both same in height)Quote:

Ayup, still a bit close for comfort(considering r520s and such may have different dimensions?)
no video card can get any lower then that...
Yea, but if longer, perhaps the cooling could get in the way?
can you even slide a piece of paper in between that?
if tat fan ever dies its gonna be one heck of a search to find a replacement that would fit in that tiny space
if you have a 6800 in the top slot the fan is gonna suck 50c air off the mosfets and ram right into the chipset ouch
the nforce 3/4 chipest is in a really bad position. with a nv5 silencer i have a via nb hs and i had to bend some pins to allow for clearance.
i think wel will all have to go to water/ chiller/phase just to get away from the chipset
