Yeah, I don't think Foxconn has ANY Quantum-series boards for AMD.
ASUS has the Crosshair IV though:

Edit: Wow. I decided to run a memtest for the hell of it, wondering how high my RAM could go.
And I got.. an error?
So I bumped it down to my normal OC. Still got an error! The other night I found my OC wasn't stable, too.
So I loaded up windows, and ran P95 large-FFTs. No errors whatsoever (because it doesn't test RAM), where with blend I get an error within seconds.
So I loosed up my RAM timings to CAS 9 and 1520 Mhz, overclocked my CPU to 4.2Ghz, and tried blend. No errors yet!
I REALLY think that's what has been holding my OC back, and I can't believe it took this long.
Thank you SO much, Voltage Drop, for bringing up my intrest in my RAM.
Also, for some reason my board doesn't POST if I change the multi from anything but 22. Figured that out too during all this.

RAM will definitely hold you back if it isnt tuned right when OC'ing. As long as there are no errors with your RAM and your CPU is passing stress tests as well then your OC should be rock solid. I also have trouble finding anything stable under x22 but I believe that it is the CPU and not the board. What is your BCLK @191? You said you knew your RAM could hit 1500 and it did, Nice work!
