Went back to 0802.... 0901 didnt seem stable to me after running it for a bit, passed memtest/Prime95 but something didnt seem right about it. Would get random booting issues, vista wouldnt load sometimes, would lose RAM settings in this order .... failed OC type no boot (DETDRAM) then turn off ----- power on, power off (to change settings to something bootable) and after the first double boot it does on a failed OC it resets again, and I have to use a cheap stick of DDR2 to boot again.

Maybe I should try 0802 with my OC of 440x9 again. Because, my system rebooted when i was sleeping and got stuck at "DET MEM"

If 440x9 is definitely unstable and the only change is Bios 0901 then it couldn't hurt to go back to Bios 0802 and give it a try? I'm on Bios 0901 and I like it, but I too have lost some stability.

Cooling the Northbridge with an 80mm fan has done the world of good for my board though, much more receptive to voltage and FSB changes now, in a good way!

Oh, does anyone know if using my GFX in the lower 16x slot would change much? Is the top slot controlled by the North Bridge and the lower by the South Bridge? Or are they both on the North Bridge?

The lower 16x is just fine, I'm using it right now.
