BIOS settings

OK...

Here is the link for your mobo UserGuide:

http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...1911_a8n-e.pdf

BIOS is at Chapter 2

Take a look in there and see what you think. There is a section on DRAM Configuration - but I dont see any entries to change SPD or voltage.

I'm sure it's there... as you can change the memory voltage on most machines via the BIOS, rather than using jumpers. At least, you better hope it's not jumpers - far too fiddley - if you're not comp savvy

WARNING: Changes to your BIOS could leave the system unusable. There is a section in the UserGuide that explains it... so READ it carefully.

Let us know what you decide... but post back before doing anything
