Thanks, I'll remember that if i ever need to ramp back to xp... I refuse to go back to vista x64 till the language packs are done properly and SP2 is out. (April 9th is expected for language packs atm) Right now I've got my memory forced to cas 5 with 1.85v power to them, the only reason i said the ex38T vs the ex38(which is the one i have) is i've noticed that giga-byte does not even have the ex38 DDRII on the product support list, but the ex38t drivers work flawlessly for it and the bios update F2 is compatible with both DDR2 and DDR3 as well as a bit better about auto selecting voltages (still not perfect)

My memory on SPD recognized at 1.7v with 5-7-7-18 when it should have been 1.8 with 5-5-5-15, the SPD standards need to update to include actually manufacturer specs not some junky IEEE standard.
