For 2 years already, am still to no purpose looking for the 16GB of DDR2-1200MHz memory for my Asus P5Q Premium mother. Is the ASUS' promise real at all?

I wasn't sure what screws I was supposed to use to secure my motherboard (they all came in one little baggie) and I used the some of the extras that are supposed to be used to secure the back plates in. Will this effect my motherboard at all? Or should I swap them out while I have the chance?

Hi all, Very unusual results, my observations: 1) The hit to ram speed (using the recommended 1:1 ratios or 2 multiplier) on overclocks takes a noticeable hit on games. I had to adjust the multiplier to get my RAM speed back up to 800mhz. 2) While benching, FEAR and Cyrsis rarely went above...

Between the two, who makes the better motherboard: AsRock to Gigabyte? All I plan on doing is normal day to day operations and some gaming. I might overclock a bit but it would be with a stock cooler so nothing extreme. These are the two motherboards in particular I'm looking at- ASRock 890FX...
