ASUS Maximus Formula SE

noob question so please be kind...

After installing my E8400 and doing some testing I did a clean install of my OS.
After Vista 32bit installed I loaded the drivers from the Maximus CD, after a quick 3dmark run I upgraded my Matrix Storage Manager driver from Intels site.
I now have version 7.8.0.1012 11/9/2007 installed and personally Its a pos.
I have small delays when reading HDD but there not all the time there intermitent, 3dmark is down a few hundred points, so my question is how can I revert to the driver on the cd and not do another clean install?
The folders on the disk are somewhat unclear and alittle adivice would be greatly appreciated.

Try device manager and the roll back driver button. On my 2 Vista 64 computers the button is active on one and grayed out on the other. 50/50 chance? You could also try reinstalling the old driver over the top. You'll probably get a "The driver you are trying to install is older than the current, do you wish to continue anyway?" prompt. Just click yes.

can any of u guys do 1000mhz CL4 trd 7???

weird that this board cant seem to do it.

Yes, very easily, see my sig, each of the OCZ, Crucial and Corsair of the PC2-8500 rating I have OC'd on this mobo do 4-4-4-9 quite well. If you're willing to push the vdimm and have good cooling, you can get 1066 @ 4-5-5-10 with the Crucial Ballistics and at least 4-5-5-15 with OCZ XLC.

dude i am asking for memtest 1000 percent stable at TRD 8 or TRD7

can u post ure settings and screenshot...

cause cant seem to do with this motherboard.

oh yeah i have a few team PC2-6400 CL3's , OCZ reapers PC2-8500
and a 500fsb capable proc..
only problem that on this board.. is difficult.

dude thats trd 10.
trd 9 is boost enabled
trd 8 is boost enabled 1

example.. i can only do this for about 7-9 minutes

TRD 9 and 10 pass for all day long..
but 8..
hmm and again on P35.. trd 7 was easy.
