Very picky on memory manufacturer, make sure you use the Qualified Vendor List, (I did not and I have 4gb of DDR3 1333 that I have had to turn down to 1066 to get it to work properly:rolleyes:) Be Warned!!
This Rev of the board needs the following modules to function properly:
Sound .... Intel HDA PCI.
Disk .... Compiled in AHCI (SATA).
IDE ...... Compiled in Pata_Marvell.
Thermal .. Processor only (to date) lm-sensors guys are working on getting the newer ASUS board sensor data to work. hddtemp for drives
LAN ..... Atansic ATL1E Module.
If you are into Over-clocking this is a great board Most every voltage and frequency you can think of is tunable in BIOS.
