I've done 50x of Linx (IBT) on it with all the RAM options checked and it's fine. It's passed MS memory check for ages (over 50 passes) and that also proved it was OK. All this at 2.15V and the timings in my sig - all other RAM options are on auto or disabled except for performance level, transaction booster etc.

The MIIF is definitely sensitive to the RAM BIOS settings, it's very easy to break stability. In fact the BIOS is buggy since if it wasn't for the cold boot problem (black screen), I could run my RAM at 5-4-5-18-30 at 1200MHz which gets the latency down to about 50.5ns in Everest.
I have 2 MIIF boards, highest I can clock my Micron D9GMH sticks is around 1175MHz or so, regardless of timing or strap I cannot post above that.
Hoped this board would be a great performer, but sadly its not.

Just waiting on my mosfet block for the Rampage board, when they arrive I will do a head to head, clock for clock, quad and dualie comparison.
But I already know who the winner will be

update all roms to their newest version
patch the memory table (ddr2-1300 support)
get sli working
maybe qfan plus (very nice.. it controls the opt_fan through opt_temp! great improvement! )

also i'm planning to patch the audio drivers to a newer version and get the turboV software from the rampage II/p5q turbo running on our MIIF
It's like polishing a turd, no matter what you do to it, its still a pos
