Hello,

I bought a X38-DQ6 mobo about 2 months ago, and i have to say i'm pretty happy... but i have no reference because this is my 1st Intel system in... years

Now i have a few questions.

1) Which is the best BIOS version that won't cause my mobo not to boot anymore? because i've read stories here about that... (currently F6b)
And also if i flash my BIOS i won't loose my RAID setup will I ??


2) A more important question... I have 2GB of ram now (1+1Gb - Corsair, TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 4-4-4-12) and i want to put in 4GB more (2+2Gb - Corsair,800MHz,TWIN2X4096-6400DH). Is that possibile with this mobo? i mean it looks pretty tight physically to put 4 sticks of RAM there, but will it even work?


3) Do i really need a PSU with the 8pin power connector (the one near the CPU)? and will a BlueStorm 550 be enough for 6Gb or RAM and a bunch of drives?


Well,, thanx
