Tell you what. I have this board with Crucial Ram and I do OC and know that you never want to run 3 let alone 4 sticks of ram when OCing! Use 1 possibly 2 if you have to. I was able to OC this machine to 206 and boot WinXP Pro with no problem.. as well as many others which have gone higher. It is known that 4 sticks of ram usually give you problems with "most" Abit mobos. As for cheap hardware... i would have to say if MagamiAKO is talking about this mobo he is obviously nuts :D

Oh and Corsair is known for many many issues of cheap ram... so if thats what MagamiAKO is talking about then he is 100% correct :p

When using certain graphics cards you will be forced to abandon DIMM slot 1...

Maga... Ever hear the term noob?? Well bro you are the definition of it when it comes to hardware. If you honestly think Abit has a small as you say "niche"of people.. all I can do is laff at you. It is by far one of and usually the TOP performer in all benchmarks and reviews. I think you need to read alittle more before you actually post your ignorance next time....

Oh and yes Corsair = ass ram
