on another note, I had to video playback lock ups this morning with the 1301 bios, so I dont think the bios has anything to do with this problem, trying the latest K-Lite codec pack now to see if that helps.

really good ram but expensive for me

I have 0608 and when I try play steaming media like from hulu.com I get pauses. Very strange thing.

Anyone here tried BIOS 1301? Is there still no BIOS versions better than 0608? I mean... ASUS has released like 6 new ones after 0608 -- surely the new ones have to be better at one point..

I am using 0901 and its pretty good. Overall what they do in those updates just fixes some ram module issues. Will have to email asus about that 1001.

I just found this thread so have not read through all 800 pages... I just tried installing 4 gigs of memory on this board which it claims it can handle but it keeps freezing up during boot before it reaches the OS. I'm wondering if updating my bios may solve this issue or can this board actually not handle having ram in all 4 slots? I don't know what bios version I'm running other than it's really old.
Edit - I am using a 4 gig ram sets from gskill 1000 mhz

Did you go in the BIOS to set the voltage/timings/speed for the RAM?

You may not be able to run at 1000mhz with this board. Try 800 with the stock timings and stock voltage (2.1v i believe). Also set the nb voltage to the 1.39v setting, because the northbridge might need a boost to handle 4 sticks.
