bingo...that is simply the case. i am hoping to have a couple heavier duty cards on hand in the next couple of weeks to continue testing with, i'll be sure to post results here as i know plenty of folks are interested. it is funny, it was the first thing i wanted to test once getting the board so it is fitting o hear it was the first thing some folks are looking at

Thanks to your review, I have no doubts that I bought the right board for my i7 setup . Now if only that dang RAM would arrive...
thank-you...glad you enjoyed the review and you are sure to enjoy the board. i have found it quite easy to work with once you get the hang of i7 clocking and more than stable for daily grind work...not to mention it loves benching.
