just don't try 4 x 1gig sticks as the board will spew them back at you.
R U telling the truth??? Have U tried 4xgig on Expert??? And what with DR (NoEx)???
will update my system specs in a few minutes. yes i have a expert, and i have tried 4GIG and it shows in bios as 3GIG, in windows under system properties it says 3gig. In CPU-Z it says 4GB. In bios i enabled MMIO memory hole and then i couldn't boot into windows but bios started to display the right amount. But no one on these forums know a fix. the SLI-DR older board does , well thats what i heard.Quote:

Maybe New BIOS will fix it??
I'm sure DFI will resolve that (strange) problem.
I wonder if it happens with Every Brand???
I am using the new bios from TONY. This motherboard is not cutting the mustard.Quote:

I think the problem is with the new BIOS i flashed 2 days ago,.
Does any one have the original Expert BIOS. Cheers.
I had to enable MMIO memory hole to get it to show as 4 GB in bios but it crashes the computer.Quote:

How far can you push it?
How far with just 2 x 1Gig, I have really had my eye on this HZ ram :)
What exactly are you needing 4gb for though?Quote:

to plug into the LP Expert :)
My guess is that he bought 2 kits of 2x1gb to pick the best of the 2 kits. Then he probably figured... why not try both kits to see if 4gb can do 1T.Quote:

OPB> I have a friend with the EXPERT and he hears a strange noise from the board every few minutes and can not pin point it. Any ideas? You said if you hear a strange noise from the chipset area it's a bad board?
There is new BIOS release for Expert available onDFI's download section.
And there was one Beta Version (which supposed to improve memmory support) but they cut it from the server...
you sure about the temps there champ....mine seem a bit too low................can you double check them again pls against the old mobo...... :)Quote:

well back to normal life,
Prob on the expert :
Is there anyone use 2gb(2x1gb set) Infaneon ce-6 or be-5 IC accidentally wil cause can't run dual channel?(Most likely it the dimm4 orange one closed to CPU socket)..
tried about 7 sets already.
But have U tried the Beta BIOS from 17.november??
