first off.. i know your pain. I use an A7A266 with my 1.0t-bird @1.28... the jumper is just to change the ddr ram voltage to 3.1, right... if you could give us the link it would be of much help.

well it seems to me that if you just set the jumper to the way it shows (the one closest to you and the middle), solder a 47kohm resister from the middle jumper to that thingy over there -> (that way) and it should increase the voltage to the ddr ram. if you want to know how that works.. dont ask me.
