err i read this as one of the review

"Memory support. The board is listed as being able to support DDR2-667 through 1066. I put 2gb worth of Corsair DDR2-800, and had constant trouble POST'ing. Every component would recognize, but either the HD or DVD drive would quit responding during Windows setup. After windows installed, I was able to login about 3 times out of 100 tries. Again, failed/froze during POST. Finally had to UNDERCLOCK memory @ 667, and it worked first time."

does this mean it wont support my 4gb ram?

Nah, most reviewer's are just idiots who claim to know stuff about PC's but then don't know crap...

but can you show which 4gb Kit you have because some are really bad..

ok, so ive been reading more on the review for the biostar mobo. People are saying that the mobo is great, but i should update the bios right away because it has problems reading the ram.

How do i update the bios for my hardwares? do i just go to the company website and find my series and download whatever i need to and install it?








EDIT: actually going to go with this ram
