    *The Official* Abit IP35-E (Ed. 2)

    OK make me answer my own question. This particular Crucial memory is a 300+ review horror-show over on Newegg, but there's a review on 3/24/08 from Andy with some good info. It seems the Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) default of 42 is too low. Set mine to 52 and so far I'm stable at 1000MHz @...
