If a board doesn't perform as advertised, it's inferior. If you can find a way to work around, fine. I can too, and I have done. But the ability to find a workaround for a deficiency is no reason to say "There is nothing wrong with that motherboard". > People do not run 2GB DIMM's in an MSI K8T Master2-FAR. Indeed. You can't. > The MSI K8T Master2-FAR works fine with 1GB DIMM's. Where on MSI's > website did they state 2GB double-stacked DIMM's were supported? I can't be bothered to search their web site. It's on page 2-8 of the instructions supplied with the motherboard (document G52-S9130X3, version 1.2).
