Hi Ace,
i think the bios engineers purposely set the timings to be loose on the first several releases...they don't want users to stumble coming out of the starting gate..you know, no post screen or can't clock very high.
Good point Ace, especially when there's plenty else fot them to trip over. Probably a bit unfair , feeling a bit cynical this am.

Sorry to hear about your DFI struggle , but if anyone can whup that board into shape it's you , understand your frustration

luck
