2 things really:
1. it's not dfi's bios. it's tony's modded bios, so it's not really dfi's 'scam'.. and i do believe 'scam' is a bit strong of a word to use. if programs correctly detected ram speed for once, the story would be much different
2. as was said in this very thread, there are other boards that support this option
your right, i didn't know it wasn't available in the original BIOS and just Tony's, i haven't had the original on a machine yet...thanx for the correction.

now...for the whole word 'scam'. i made no mention of this being a DFI scam, but a scam that someone will pull and trust me, it will happen soon enough. my little post makes no mention of DFI in the last section that deals with 'the scam'. that section was the reason behind the whole post. the 'scam' would be someone looking to fudge off higher clocking memory then they have, that is what i was informing the readers of that forum about, thats it, thats all. why is everyone all over DFI for this? as others have mentioned, DFI isn't the only one with this option? and Tony making it available is nothing but a good thing for anyone interested in that area of the BIOS. news sights should not be reporting news from inaccurate forum posts like mine...tsk tsk.

looks like CPU-Z has it sorted to read the proper frequency but that doesn't mean someone still can't fake memory results by using an older version. so keep your eyes open when buying memory and ask for CPU-Z 1.33.1+ screenshots and bandwidth numbers that scale with the frequency.

now, back to the regularily scheduled programming around here that has us all ohhing and ahhhing over memory clocks.
