That didnt work...

Damn sorry to hear that, you have 4GB I see and they are 2x 2x1GB ddr2 right so all 4 banks are full.
I only have 2x1GB and I know it's easier with 2 sticks than with 4.
OCZ tells me that if I buy another 2x1GB 9200 FlexXlc for a total of 4GB, that because I have 2x 2x1GB kits they are NOT guaranteed to work at stated speeds for 4x1GB only 2x1GB sticks.
So if you wanna run 4GB at high speed you have to get a 2x2GB kit.

Hopefully a bios rev will address this, bios F5H is stated as having better memory performance for 4 dimms.

I´ts a hardware thing, not a BIOS thing so no BIOS can change anyhing about the fact X38-DQ6 cant handle 4 sticks. My crappy DQ6 had the exact same problem with usage of 4 dimms, i decied not to lower my expectations/demands on my motherboards so i trade away the crap for good board that can handle 4 sticks at their rated speed or above and does not have any problem what so ever.
I tried every one of the BIOS before i traded, including F5H, do difference what so ever for memory, and low performance 2x2 compared to Flex XLC was not my way to go since i se no difference between 2x1 and 4x1 on Maximus either for memory OC nor CPU OC.
