Also what's the change?? Spec looks the same aswell. Same SB600
NO idea yet, we need to see a pic. Maybe they've improved the CPU inductors, MOSFETs and resistors.

Well.. What I meant to say was currently I have a non booting system with 2 sticks, I have one stick in one color and the other stick in the other color. So slot one and slot two. The manual says that is dual channel.
If I keep it in the same color.. say slot 1 then slot 3. Would that be worth trying? To get the system to boot... Would that then be single channel?
Yes it would, but better is to place only one stick to boot first into the BIOS. This method: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&postcount=21

That is true those were not default spd settings. I tighten them up because the game were a bit laggy with only one stick of ram. I ran prime95 for 15 minutes with no errors or warnings and played a little Call of duty 4 and Crysis with no problems with those timings.

What I really want to know is a good number to throw the HT at to make these ram work. That is the only thing I havent tried. I will try tomorrow. If nothing. I'm going to switch processors to see if the board is bad and cant handle 2 sticks.
You'll first have to run defaults and then oc>test each component individually or you just won't know what to blame and guessing will make you error when judging. Find your RAM limits or CPU limits first, whiever way you want to do it.

Probably will, never tried 1.32 or P0H. The performance with <1.3 BETA was just not there with any other BIOS since then, they all slowed everything down even when the patch was disabled through the BIOS. IDK why that is, frankly.

I mean, in the P0F BIOS with TLB patch off, WinRAR gave me 666KB/s at a speed (possibly 2.3G/2500/1066) whilst 2.2G/1800/800 gave me 1901KB/s in 1.3 BETA.

Same pattern with Sandra, with wPrime and with EVEREST.
