    does the DS4 suffer from same DS3 problem ?

    I read DS3 has problem detecting right timmings with DDRII 800MHZ CL4, the board will auto boot with CL3, which result to unbooted board, does DS4/ DQ6 suffer from same problem ?

    Well I have DS-3 and OCZ Pc2-6400 4-5-4-15 platinums and no problems, but then again I am using a celeron with a 533 bus.

    I haven't even tried OCing this CPU or even updating to F3 bios (lol..I know) but maybe I better manually change to cas 4 and maybe up to volts to 2.2 before I install my Core 2 duo?

    Anyone have any opinions?

    the board would ran on 533mhz ram at first too(not overclocked conroe =266fsb)

    but i'm not sure if it works or not.

    the ram would have to work under 533/cl3, where 800/cl4 is normal.

    really hard to say

    the problem isn't applicable to conroe/allendale runners...............as the PC starts up with 266MHz FSB

    i have HZ sticks and that's what happens...................................no problems with them whatsoever
