I just looked around quick & found some support thread open with the usual suspects.
All seem to come down to manual BIOS setup or BIOS up/downgrade which tells me the
BIOS is NRFPT & incompatible with some vendors RAM. Fixable as the go along, not a
"design" fault necessarily.
Price is attractive, but I'd pass in favor a more expensive X48 based mobo and quad
core as I've said here before.

What is the issue with the P5Q and memory? To me, if you start
talking 'quality' memory, it sounds to me like an unstable design.
What about BIOS issues? There were a few scattered over different
dates, but interspersed with solid 5's and no issues.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to put an E8500 in it.
Thanks....Steve
