Guys,

So I got my g.skill ddr2 1066 in. I bought 4gb in anticipation of Vista SP1 (yeah). I tried to run them @ 1066mhz w/ 1:1 ration and it wasn't stable, thank god for crash free bios! So I've adjusted the timings to 4-3-4-11 / 800mhz @ 2.11V and it's stable. She just wouldn't boot with 1066 or 1000mhz. The more aggressive timing of CL 3 wasn't happenin either.

I'm going to try and get to 900mhz and I'll let you know what's up. I'm joining the ranks of the ones that hope for a good new bios from Asus. Hook me up with good tweaks if you can think of any!

you often cannot run as tight timing when you are running 4 sticks. Try to relax the timing and see if you can get it to run stable.

Did you pump up the ram voltage, 4 sticks can use a little more voltage to hold timings. Tighter the timings the more voltage you need. To much voltage is a bad thing so use as little as possible to get stable.

I got it up to 933mhz (934.5) @ 2.11V and it's stable. C'mon BIOS update, c'mon Asus.
