... No wonder ... users have so many memory compatibility problems with stock DDR2 667 sticks. The Bad Axe 2 with ANY revision or Bios version runs at BASIC compatibility speeds with our better memory, and no overclocked stock latencies 667 memory 'barely" works...

I had a rev505 board fry my TeamXtreem DDR2 667 kit (memory errors to the point of total instability), at stock settings.

I returned the motherboard thinking that could be the problem. I got another fresh rev505 and the memory still didn't work. I went ahead and got an RMA from TeamXtreem and got another pair, only to have them fried again on my second motherboard. I had to RMA, for a second time, the TeamXtreem RAM, and now I'm running them under-spec to avoid instability.

Because of this, I have come to accept that I made a poor choice with this motherboard, despite all the cheerleading going on here and elsewhere.

Rockmore, your information is important because people like me feel like the odd ones out amidst all the cheerleading going on. Unfortunately your forceful and emotional tone is too inciting, too immature to be take seriously, even by someone like me who wants to believe you.
