    KTE - I feel your pain.

    I got the MSI for the 4PCIE slots and teh 1066. I clearly saw online that 1066 was an avilalbe mem divider. Something that wasn't present in the nv590. When I popped in my memory and didn't see the 1066, I was a bit frustrated.

    Hopefully they will get this fixed w/ a new bios.

    The divider is there. It's just not working - can't boot no matter what the mem settings are. Though I've been using an Opty and on Gigabyte DS5 board with F1 BIOS 1066 divider was not available at all. Maybe opterons do not support 1066

    everyone listen very closely.

    If you are unable to run at 1066 on your 790FX chipset, WITH a phenom processor, try putting your DIMM sticks in the same color slots. this seems to be affecting more boards and I am finding out.

    Try this, then tell me if it works or not.

    I am making a list of motherboards that this is affecting.
    System Specs:

    System 1: Asus P5E,Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB OCZ Plat DDR2-1066, Tri-Raid 0 1TB 16MB cache, Radeon HD4870.

    System 2: (wip) Asus M3A78T, Phenom II 720 BE @ 3.8Ghz, 2GB OCZ plat 1066 DDR2, Radeon 2900XT 1GB.
