Hey guys,
there still seem to be a couple of people around with the first gen micron ddr3 sticks from various mfgs that dont carry a fully compatible ddr3 spd. back then the spd spec wasnt even finalized and most boards would boot and work with any spd, no matter what it was programmed to. in the newer boards and with the newer bioses some older spds dont work anymore, or dont work very well.
Heres an spd which is pretty much microns reference spd, so it will work on any board with any bios. actually its possible that it doesnt work on a board or bios, but in that case the bios or board is to blame
oh and some people said this ref bios actually helped them reach higher ocs than propperly programmed ddr3 spds. i guess the ref spd is not tweaked at all and hence might let you reach slightly higher clocks.
You can flash theese SPDs with w1zzards spd tool:

Hope this helps
