They gave the pic of the old board there though.

So what does this mean us for non "version 2 boards"?
Also what's the change?? Spec looks the same aswell. Same SB600

Different color slots is dual channel, they wrote the manual incorrectly.

Well.. What I meant to say was currently I have a non booting system with 2 sticks, I have one stick in one color and the other stick in the other color. So slot one and slot two. The manual says that is dual channel.
If I keep it in the same color.. say slot 1 then slot 3. Would that be worth trying? To get the system to boot... Would that then be single channel?

Your tRAS should be higher to 18 and your tRC should be 23 at 1.8V to stay inside rated specs. Those may add instabilty to your system unless you know it can do better.

That is true those were not default spd settings. I tighten them up because the game were a bit laggy with only one stick of ram. I ran prime95 for 15 minutes with no errors or warnings and played a little Call of duty 4 and Crysis with no problems with those timings.

What I really want to know is a good number to throw the HT at to make these ram work. That is the only thing I havent tried. I will try tomorrow. If nothing. I'm going to switch processors to see if the board is bad and cant handle 2 sticks.
