ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[Grnfinger]

Seriously? I just went through the Asus Download page and looked for everything for the MIIF, and it was right there in the BIOS section. Here's a link: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...rmula-1901.zip

Improve Memory compatibility

Both Taiwan and NA FTP sites do not show it for me...thanks for the link.

That's total nonsense, Superfetch is Memory.

Indexing uses the HDD more and I disable it.

A modern HDD's MTTF is more than you will ever need anyhow.

Stick to OC'ing mate and I stick to Beta Testing MS OS's officially and understanding how they work.

I previously had 2 Raptor X's and I can tell you they are well noticeable when clanking as you put it, its not Superfetch that does it, its indexing and System Restore and there is plenty of guides around to tell you how to tame down a HDD in Vista.

I beta test for MS aswell and have for along time

I'm well aware of what Superfetch is and how it works, imo I feel its of little value and choose not to run it, with indexing turned OFF and I always disable system restore I have CONSTANT hdd activity with superfetch enabled, with it disabled it idles nicely.
