going 939 crazy here.........

You'll find that the Expert board has very limited modded bios choices and actually performs worse (quirkier) than a regular Ultra D. I'd sell that one for a premium. If you want better than the Ultra D you need to find a Venus board.
Good luck with your 939 adventures. I'm actually working 939's right now for the Dec. challange. Between myself and Opty, we're keeping CP at #1 for now in said challange. I hope to maintain that.

Thanks for the advice

.

Hopefully between myself, my new Opty that just got dropped off, the FX-55, and the SLI-DR with the Gold VX I can have some very nice results by the end of the day.

Temperatures are dropping.....time to have some fun.

I'll be helping out as well in my own way.

Maybe I'll do alright but with the luck I've been having lately, I'm not assuming anything yet.

Sorry to hear the new RAM is crap NY but that's how it goes sometimes.
As long as it's not throwing errors, it's still good for something but if you really don't want it, I need a few spare sticks for everyday (Non-OC'ing) useage.

It's trash....tried it on another system and all I got was the bad memory beep out of each and both sticks. I only was able to run memtest on them on the SLI-DR because it's built into the BIOS.

I'll test further later because I'd really like to get them to work, but if I can't crank them up then what's the point? I'll get a refund I think.....and I'm sure they are lifetime guaranteed, but they wouldn't have any worthwhile replacements.

Maybe at least 2 of the 4 x 256MB Geil pc4000 I got for $1.25 will be good.

EDIT: not sure Mr.Scott......it's possible that they will work after freezing.
