Well to be realistic, I havent really tried 1104, but I just got really excited that I had it a day earlier and changelog wasnt that bad so I thought it might be an improved 0901 (didnt know I could share the BIOS, I will do so from now on )

It runs OK at 2000MHz, but memory performance is better linked and synced at 1800MHz. Tried the full 8GB but couldn't even get it stable at 1600MHz, haven't really played around with it though. Using 1104 bios it seems Ok, although I can get ever so slightly better memory sub-timings with earlier bioses. Can't get my QX9770 over 450FSB with any bios!
Glad to see you are still around lending a helping hand!!
I will also try to get a pair of CSX, hopefully 1800Mhz 8-7-6-18 1.9v
Really sad to hear 8gbs wont even run at 1600Mhz, as one day I would really like to fully use 8gbs of RAM
Dont tell me you cant get that CPU to 450FSB because you are not helping me at all! I want to run my Q9450 at 475Mhz at least! (maybe you can decrease your multi?)
And thanks for that, Im just trying to make everybody realize is just a couple of changes here and there and you can enjoy one of the best boards ever released
