doesnt work in ASUS KFSN4-DRE 1.7 BA's no post

There's an issue with the memory. If you can, get ahold of some Corsair Registered Ecc....the board should post with those sticks installed.

Stephen are you ill or so? or on to something? no updates ?

I'm fine, just a bit busy. I'll be updating in soon. Just shuffling around some cpu's.

Intel Tigerton and AMD Barcelona 16-core SPECint_rate 2006 (1) and SPECfp_rate 2006 (2) results:

(1)
Tigerton 2.93GHz (peak/base) 211/184
Barcelona 2.5GHz (peak/base) 188/163

(2)
Tigerton 2.93GHz (peak/base) 113/106
Barcelona 2.5GHz (peak/base) 160/149

Both CPUs unavailable yet.

I'm expecting b2's in the VERY near future
