Are you saying that with BIOS 2103....

No Sound Card Problem..
No Memory Issue....

Oh... and the Speedstep issue- not a major feature for desktops I guess.. (posted by Lemmingsbeest above)

Anyone have a Q6600 45nm with a bulletproof BIOS revision on basic items like sound and memory?

Chip is $300. I would like to have a working sound card for $300 and be able to use my Corsair Dominator RAM as well. It would not be OK not to run memory at 800MHz at least. I would like memory to run at spec minimum... leave OC'ing alone for now.

I don't know why Asus would claim to support the Q6600 with a major issue like that. Its like saying.. this car works fine....just don't make right turns....

I am running 1503 BIOS because I have a stable 3.2 GHz OC on an E6400 on WC.. For every 10 revisions ASUS puts out there there is like 1 real improvement.
