Just let it flip, it doesn't need to uphold any specific brands or model maa....I used Asus, DFI, Abit, MSI, Gigabyte (ol 939 days), Biostar and have found some pro and cons of each of them....its how your reply regarding the problems that matters, and not to simply say that A board is suck or the B board is good...its a matter of the whole board specific construction and a little bit of luck also....

The current 790FX when I first bought it, out of the box POST'ed once then never again...change 1 to 1 then only I'm running... Just let it slide...

Just because some of us have it doesn't mean the whole series is bad. You got the best MSI board for example and don't have problems, does it mean the cheaper board are the same? I have use some asus board I have zero issues with any memory incompatibility. But I do have memory incompatibility with DFI board before, but will that makes me bashing DFI board and say all their board suck?

Best thing to do in beast921 case is e-mail them, their customer support are quite good, they will usually reply e-mail in 1-2 days

Memory Hole Remap option in bios set to ON....

In windows type msconfig in Command Prompt....Then go to Boot, Click on the Microsoft Windows, then go to Advance Options, see if the check box for Maximum Memory is clicked and insert the amount of 4094 inside the tab....

Restart....

If still only 2GB visible

Type in msconfig again in the Command Prompt and then go back at the Boot tab and advance menu, un-checked the maximum memory tab...

Yup, I did email to asus support already with 48 hours they will reply on the issues.
Noted . on your suggestion:
Please refer to the screenie as proof & look into the circle part (in windows ss): that what I trying to focus on.

ok. Do remember that am using build in Graphic which means share my memory.

@ antonio: I did what u ask me to, apparently its still doesnt work.

Try disabling Onboard GFX memory sharing, just use the sideport mem....

Its in the somewhere around advance chipset settings or something in the bios...It can be select either Sideport+Mem or just Sideport only....

Bank Interleave Off
MemCLK tristate OFF
Power Down Disable

noted. on the suggestion.

please refer to the bios scene shot:



Asus M4A78 EM/1394 does not have Sideport Memory, its required shared memory with Ram install for build in Graphic. Its unfortunate for me.

Set the UMA to as little as possible...lets say 512MB....

then in theory although you will lose 500mb due to 32bit OS, but it is being utilized perfectly by the GFX....hihihihihi

Good run xixo! I still playing with this new Phenom and some BIOS related to Phenom setting. But from what I've set, its only a few of second off from your time

You have an advantage, because i'm using only 1gb x 2..
