    I agree %100. Anyone who is Xtreme and wanting/needing this board AND who wants 2gb would obviously go with 2x1gb. I dont know why this has been such an issue except for the wow factor of bucking a long lasting trend on 939 boards....

    How stable is that 206Mhz, Dumo? 1M only or we can hope for full stability?

    I'm guessing that with more BIOS revisions and extreme tweaking, 240 might be benchable.

    How stable is this Expert board? My DFI nF4 SLI-DR is not very stable for 24/7 usage tbh, will this Expert board fix most issues with the "original"? Is it more like any other non-ocers board, stability wise? A little disappointed with my current, so I'm considering an upgrade and this Expert might be a viable option.

    In the manual it looks like it would be a SLI-D and a SLI-DR version. Dunno if it will end up like that though.

    You're such a tease

    One question though does your board have problems breaking 300HTT like the xfire board did before the recent bios release?
