I thought I was getting the impression that the errors with blend were related to bios or board issues?

As far as i know it's probably an issue related to the cpu(fsb)<->nb<->mem communication, those three elements should be synchronized to get the Blend test on and w/o errors, i tried with "appropiate" voltages on every related element but it's not responsing well ... that's what i think it can be a BIOS issue (mostly a Mem Strap, Mem Clock Skew or the CPU GTL's) or a simply FSB Wall (but i highly doubt this since it benched at 4.5-4.6 w/o any problem in the past)
