Ok, that makes sense. I was able to get the all of the memory register settings via the legacy bios. So should I just set the ones that are not the default values? Also, is there a "bios porting guide" for intel chipsets?? Thanks again - Joe > > -- > coresystems GmbH • Brahmsstr. 16 • D-79104 Freiburg i.
