Gigabyte DS3L not working well with memory?

I recently got a Gigabyte GA-DS3L when I moved some of my older stuff to my family computer. It is a Abit AB9 Quad GT and with the same e4300 and Gskill memory, which would run memtest stable at up to 1100mhz on the Abit, cannot even break 1000mhz on the gigabyte board using the same NB strap, voltage and timings (same cpu clock as well). Even using the bios "standard" and not turbo or extreme setting for memory, there is no change. That and clock for clock, my super pi results are around 1/2 - 3/4 seconds slower on the gigabyte for the 1M test. Clocks appears about the same between both boards with it puttering out at 3.2ghz for stable at 1.44v, just using the memory at a slower setting with the Gigabyte. Is there some setting I may be missing that is messing with memory performance and stability?
