Interesting. I didn't mention it in my original post, but there were two 2400 XMP options. But from the UI in the Intel BIOS, they looked the same. Couldn't tell if one was T1 or T2 or otherwise. Pretty sure I tried both with the same issue. I'll have to check that again. I have updated to...

A little follow up ... I contacted G.Skill. They simply replied saying that the Intel board had trouble with 2400. And softly suggested that one of the ASUS boards they tested would be a bit more fuss free. :-)

Yes, at that time it was the integrated graphics. My graphics card arrived yesterday so now I'm using that. But I haven't tried OC the memory since then. Might be an interesting test.

May I ask what's making you switch? I'm in the process of spec'ing a new Core2 system. And I keep waffling on the motherboard because I can't choose between video chip makers. I have a "percpetion" that NVidia > ATI. Yet Intel didn't launch their Core2 boards/chipsets with any real...

I have pretty much that same question as I'm looking at both those components for my new system as well. From what I've been reading here...the Conroe boards haven't been released yet. Maybe 1 or 2. I'm waiting until launch day of Conroe, by then numerous solid boards should be available...
