This is just for the people starting threads about when/if they should upgrade and if its worth it. Ive just come from an Axp mobile @2.5 to the setup in my sig. I didnt really know what to expect moving the A64 but its all good:D. Following assembling the setup, the SLI-D didnt want to work in dual channel and the overclocking wasnt that great. (i assumed because of the single channel) But with the ease of a Bios flash (I'd suggest using Winflash for the first timers, it worked fine and was easy to use) it was all fixed, dual channel and excellent overclocking results. According to SisoftSandra im enjoying 7000mb+/s Bandwidth and am able to play any game high res 4xaa 16xaf eaisily. IMO it has been money well spent, the DFI board is a dream for us overclockers so to those wondering as to if they should upgrade i say yes!

Good to see the overlclock worked well for you. How recently did you get the DFI board, by the way?

Congrats :)
Having the same RAM: What timings and Voltage do you give 'em? With 7000+ Bandwidth I presume a 1:1 setup...

3-4 weeks ago eh? You'd think they'd ship the DFI NF4 boards with a better BIOS by now. Good thing Winflash is easy to use, eh?
