    I'll take back a lot of my moaning earlier because now that I've finally got it Prime stable, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
    Memory performance is the best thing with this board, I can't believe I'm able to push 4-4-4-9 with such ease!
    Yeah, I love it, I'm always happy for a challenge, and a board that refuses to show it's full potential straight away is ok in my book! But showing the potential at SOME point is crucial!!!!

    If the next bios release doesn't fix the various issues, I'm RMAing for a Quad GT X38!

    Although hopefully the next bios should be quite good, seeing as the time between this and the last (0701, 0702 hasn't officially been released) is much longer than previous bios revisions! Overclocking of 0401 and stability and sensor reading and timings of 0701, anyone?
