Heck, for all I know it could be a BIOS issue; had to flash it to a beta for quad-core support (P35 board). Moved to 4GB RAM, quad-core and 64-bit OS at the same time, so it was a little tricky to diagnose.

In short, like I said, I have no problems with Win7 at all. Not bad for a free trial.

Not at you bro I'm on my 3rd GB mb an Extreme Gamer capible of 24gb of ram, and will probably never use another brand. They never give a prob or ever let me down.
