@ Rammsteiner: disabling ODT pin fine delay gave me 50 real mhz (100ddr) minimum with those rams, virtually at no cost. in fact, i didnt get them to somewhere above 1040 stable with this option enabled, no matter how much vdimm i pushed into them...

to me, it looks like this is some skew option and my corsair ram simply is not compatible to how these things are detremined in the bios..

@ be: of course, igp is nice if thinking about office, but for gaming etc i'll always use a graphics card, especially if the igp would use ram.. i think, for high performance systems an igp does not make sense?

besides, i think its sad that dfi discontinues its high end amd series... i understand perhaps the market volume is too small and there're too many RMAs, but honestly i'd rather pay double the price compared with a gigabyte for all those additional tweaking options... i think that'll be sad if DFI would go away from that philosophie...
