Default 1205 Beta Bios on Asus P5N32-E SLI
I flashed my bios and updated to the new 1205 beta bios version for the Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard about 2 weeks ago. I've encountered no problems yet, though I haven't started overclocking yet....I'll keep you all posted on my overclocking results with this bios version.

The only problem I've encountered during overclocking with the 1205 bios version is the strange memory timings(compared to what the actual modules say they run at). The modules say 4-4-4-12 and after overclocking they were automatically set to 5-5-5-13. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Also, it seems that my bios is incorrectly reading my installed RAM after overclocking. With standard settings it read it right with having 1024mb(1gig), and after overclocking it read my system as having 2gigs RAM. What is with that?
So...I'm going to upgrade my bios again to the 1203 version since I've heard it's the best.

Even now with the 1203 bios version it still reads that I have 2GB RAM when I only have a 1GB Dual Channel kit installed while overclocked: CPU from 2.80GHz to 3.01GHz, FSB from 800MHz to 860MHz, and with no voltage alterations.

I am going to stay with the 1203 because of all the great things I've heard about it compared to the other versions. But why would it be telling me I have 2GB RAM installed when I've only installed 1GB?

The primary difference between 1205 and 1203 is compatibility with certain razor usb devices.
