Hey all, thanks for a great forum, posters!

I have the X38-DQ6 which I've had maybe a month. So far, I have to say I'm abit let down. I shelled out almost $500 here in N.Z which is alot for a guy with no present job, moving up from my p965-S3 (so a huge upgrade or so I thought).

First problem (maybe someone can suggest something I'm missing): My max FSB is...410-420 mhz. Currently on F4 bios but did try one of the F6 bios' to find the max FSB went below 400. I'm very disappointed since my S3 could do 514 perfectly stable although I could only have 2 sticks of ram in at a time.

Second problem: Every couple days or so, the machine, upon reboot, just fails to. It requires taking 3 sticks out and leaving one in, letting it boot up and run a little while and then shutting down and reinserting the ram. What is with this, anyone know ?

I have a Q6600 G0 CPU and G.skill HZ and Crucial ram. Appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.
