Well I have had this board for several weeks now. It works great and overclocks great except that windows won't boot on any memory dividers except 1:1, 9:10, 1:2. I have the newest bios on there and the LDT set at 1x when trying but it still does not work. I am wondering if I am just missing something but I am not sure that I am.
Other parts of comp are:
AMD 64 3000+ (Venice)
Corsair 1GB (512x2) Value Select CAS 2.5 RAM

So has no one else experienced this problem? It is really strange... boots up fine on a 9/10 memory divider, but on the 166 divider it just crashes windows. Nothing changes except that 1 setting.

i don't use dividers. have you checked at dfi.street? i know i've seen threads over there with divider issues. some seemed to be bios specific.

well I went over there and found newer bios's that weren't "official" yet. Those atleast fixed my 5/6 divider which is good. Now have my 3000+ (1.8) runnin at 2.3. :D

sweet. i wouldn't be concerned about the unofficial bios. i've been waiting for my 5.10 bios to go oficail since , well, 5/10 lol. i usually give them a couple weeks to see if others have problems and then flash if i need to.

btw, which bios fixed it?

I used the 510-1 bios found at link . Good news is that with this bios I can run stable 272 x 9 (2450) on my 3000+. Memory divider works at 3/4 at 2T which I don't really understand beyond the point that DFI doesn't like corsair. O well, suffer a little on memory bandwidth but gain alot in processing.
