I am wanting to pull the trigger in this board Friday.

I have 2 questions, which ram is everyone using? I wanted to use the Mushin, because its blue

Or this OCZ because I have had some hellishly good luck with OCZ, the volts are low, and the timings are good.

My other question is really a concern. It seems the number one rip on this board is people can't buy a dual core or tri core processor and get a free quad core phenom II out of the deal.

I understood that if you wanted a quad core, you bought a quad core, and if you got a dual/tri core, and you could unlock the 4th core, good news for you, but its not supported, or even advised. Why is a mother board being talked bad about because people can't get something for nothing out of it.

If all dual dual cores and tri cores where meant to be unlockable to be a quad core, shouldn't that be a feature? Since they are not, why are people talking bad about a motherboard because it can't unlock cores on a processor that where supposed to be disabled?

Is this the only issue with this board?
