    The SupremeFXII wont install on Vista x64? It doesnt have to be in the black PCIE 1x slot does it? I just keep getting HD Audio device, and the SoundMax installer says the driver im trying to install doesnt support my device.

    Any help on this?

    EDIT: NM after reading the manual a bit, seems this retarded add on can only be used in the "black" PCIE 1x slot as its designated PCIE1x/Audio... so apparently that slot is special....

    Can that slot run a PCIe x1 wireless card (abit AirPace)?

The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given.

    I have no way of testing that, but I imagine it would.

    As a side note, Ive noticed contrary to the P5K Premium/Deluxe where DRAM static read control to enabled yielded the best performance, however setting Transaction booster to 1, and setting that one option to "strong" (name eludes me, its in that row of memory performance options. Its in the Asus guide as "Crazy" function) and it gets about 200-300 MB/s better in Everest benches, as well as a decrease of .2ns on latency.

    Anyone know whats holding back the board from doing transaction boost 2? Perhaps someone has some more performance tweaks for this board, quite happy with it so far.

    Transaction boost is setting the boards Performance Level.

    Transaction boost isn't always setting directly the same PL with the 3 options it has. The PL differs with the divider you're using. When running 5:6 for example, transaction boost = 1 results in PL 8 (according to Memset), transaction boost = AUTO results in PL 10.

    When you put transaction boost at 2 the board will run PL 7 or even 6 and for that reason, it won't work.

    But when running 2:3 divider and transaction boost = 1, the PL is 10 for example and than transaction boost 2 will work.

    The board relaxes the PL when you run a "higher" divider and you can re-adjust it with transaction booster.

    Ahh, appreciate the info... .looks like its back to tweaking this board, anyone got some good secondary subtimings for ram?

    Can you post your settings, cause this thing isn't even stable with 2 of the 4 dimms installed! Its about to be catapulted out the window and my DFI UT P35 back in! This is on bios 0401 BTW.

    nb 1.5
    sb 1.75

    just a quick update as well i flashed to the 504 bios and had to back down my ram to 900 mhz because it wouldnt let me boot with 1066...i had to keep flashed 504 because of errors with my graphics card drivers and with 401 my computer wouldnt run videos or games...but with my ram set where its at im cool with what im running now just waiting for another bios update to see if i can get my ram running @ 1066 again...other than that this board is rock solid much more solid than my damn 680i!!
