Testing on this mobo, OCZ 2x 2Gb RAM (rated: 5-4-4-15 @ DDR800) oC'd to DDR1000 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.22v in 1:1 with same 4GHz @ 500x8 as in sig. Also added the RAM in sig along side with good results of performance for a total of 6GBs in dual channel. In 6GB config, Hibernate was disabled in all settings of remapping and such.

Can anybody using (as seen by Windows) 4GB of RAM and able to get the Hibernate Tab in power options or device manager shut down menu? If I enable "Memory Remap" and reboot I get Hibernate but now only 3.37GB as used by XP x64. If I now add the "boot" file fix (MAXMEM=4096) and leave memory remap enabled, I still have use of Hibernate but now only get use of 3.25GB RAM in XP x64. if I now leave the MAXMEM=4096 boot add on and disable memory remap I again still get Hibernate but back to 3.37GB RAM as used by XP x64, yet now the rambench scores are a little better then as before.

I also noticed that ram scores in Everest were worse if kleft to 4GB with scores dropped by as much 164MB/s read & 9MB/s write.

Just wanted to get soem user feedback since I see a lot of you running 4GBs RAM on this mobo.

Thankx!
Well Idon't use the hibernate option, but as soon as HL2 finished installing I'll test it on Vista x64.......
BTW, are you referring to boot.ini adjustments for 4Gb RAM? This shouldn't be needed.......only the memory remap in the BIOS, and 4096 Mb should be detected in a x64 environment......
Have you checked with otehr applications other than right clicking on my comp\properties?
