    Display goes blank occasionally

    well, so far it hasn't happened at all - as I am unable to reproduce the problem, I will assume the 2 DVI ports on the video card are not created equally.

    i7 with Integrated Memory Controller vs North Bridge? Which takes precidence?

    So why would a motherboard for this chip list the North bridge Chipset as "North Bridge Intel Z75" and have a supported RAM entry of "DDR3 2800+(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066" http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157304
