cool a new bios im looking forward to it idk what to do.. whats your cpu overclocked to? im @3300mhz 825 mem 5-6-6-24 on sync mode. yea cant get it to 1066 without bringing down my cpu core.. i dont get that. thinking of rmaing it..but not surw with this bios bios update.. may help a lot.. i guess i need good memory or i may jus get a second 8800gts and sli this board see some real improvments for my money. yea let me know your spec on that bios and mem im hitting 1140 in 3dmark 06 now. is intel speed step good or bad? some little things i just am not sure of.. they dont seem to affect me too much if at all. and if im running in sli memory mode will that cause me a problem if i dont have 2 graffix cards? i only have the on atm. but the sli ready memory. thanks for the slay you always come through haha..
