but i did check the reviews on newegg, and some got it to work...kind of.

keep in mind i'm a newbie when it comes to hardware, (this is my 4th post)...
so i don't know if what the reviewers did is safe, proper or optimal.

see the review for 'Monolith' --2/29/2008 and 'fast' --8/30/2008 to see what they said.

please post back your results...i'm still deciding whether to get this mobo and memory combination.
Hi Wkk

Thanks for your post. I post this from a machine now running 8GB of Corsair ram @ 1066mhz.

I did the following in the bios. I am 98% sure this is what fixed it.
I left the NB Voltage at AUTO
Set DDR2 voltage to 2.1V
This is the important part and seemed to be the difference between it working and it not working. An option further up the same page from the voltages is called DRAM Frequency. I set this at first to 800mhz and it booted. Changed it to 1066MHZ and it still booted. Vista x64 shows 8GB of ram. So far being working for an hour. I am going to stress test the system overnight to be sure.

Seems to be all good so far. Besides this small problem i love this board.

Thanks,
Daniel
