no mention of memory timing fixes either. Seems a lot of people are getting odd results still with this board and most types of memory.

I can't get my HyperX PC3500 to run to spec

Fixes wrong system operation caused by incomplete discharging CMOS data via CCMOS jumper.
Shows the correct IRQ of IDE Controller in PCI Devices Listing.
Fixes CPU Thermal Throttling behavior while under minus temperature, and supports minus temperature reading in BIOS Setup.
Fixes the problem that system could not automatically get into S4 mode, after enabled Power Scheme of "Power Option" under Windows XP
Updates CPU Microcode (CPUID=0F13h, Patch ID=05h ; CPUID=0F12h, Patch ID=02eh).

How about changing the Refresh to "Normal" ? it is an option under GAT. But prepare to lost several hundred points in Sandra Memory Benchmark.

Wow !!! more than 100% of increase in Sandra ? I guess you are a lucky guy. I don't see such an increase in my system.
