I have just recently purchased the M2N-E with A2M 3800+ ( after seeing this thread, unfortunately).
Now, much to my dismay, my 2 gigs DDR2 Kingston RAM 667 is not being utilized to it s fullest extent. I ran some NLE software on two computers, an intel 3.0 D and this system and it renders almost 1.5X slower on the AMD system. All my other benchmark tests are high, it is just the memory that is low and makes me want to throw the thing out the window. What can I do?
I just finished flashing the Bios to the newest version, didn't help and in some respects, my memory benchmarks are lower. Any fixes for this?

The Pentium 4 is a memory bandwidth hog, the Athlon 64 is not. It's just an architectural difference, and in no way means the AMD is slower. This is why synthetic benchmarks are just about useless.
