    I hope that helps someone

    BTW: Sorry if this has already been said - i didn't see it
    Now, I´ve read your message concentrated

    ASUS concepted the blue and white slot with different intentions :
    the one color for tight timings- the other for high-MHz
    ( do not know which was which - but I think it should be clear by your message )

    In the slots with high-MHz you got to set command rate to "2t"... otherwise you got BSODs.

    That is the problem :
    In really none of the mainboard-manuals is it documented - a tech-support-member with I had a long time contact told me that... and he sent me a link of the ASUS-Support page - but I never found that page again.

    but it is very easy to prove for yourselfes
