I guess "harder" is another way of saying it has inferior AC characteristics. I was hoping that there was a setting somewhere that would magically get this board to the level of the giga, guess not. For example, with vcore=1.36, at 21x192 I get an instant error under prime95. With my giga, I can pass prime at 21x194 and 1.344 volts. I still need to find a voltmeter test point for Vcore, there aren't any obvious ones like on my giga. Until I verify that I am indeed using the same Vcore on both boards, I can't be 100% sure that the DFI really is doing less CPU clk at the same voltage.
