Can you truthfully recommend ram that will actually run at specified ratings with this headache of a board ? 1066 preferred any brand doesn't matter . Gigabyte ram configurator sucks ,not 1 4gb set of 1066 listed. oh yah ive spent days on the phone with so called techs tweaking the bios with less than satisfactory results.Managed to ruin at least 1 board already

Have you tried the F10f beta bios? ALso do you have the 1.1 mobo version or the 1.6, they had a bad manufacturing lot in the 1.6 that went out.

Just a thought, but have you tried dropping to CL4 and running around 8-900 instead of 1066, performance wise it might be a bit faster than 1066 at stock timings
