Thanks for the heads up, but Thumbs down to Gigabyte

So far I've lost 200 points in Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark! ~4800
down from ~5000,

Was running HyperX 3500 2.5-6-3-3
P4 3.0 @ 3.27 (FSB 218)
PSB Parking Enabled

With PSB Parking Disabled I only benched 4500!


Going back to F6....

Yep, I confirmed this twice -200 points.

Someone please try Top Performance setting - I can't because it always
refused to POST on my machine.

Have you tried the F8 bios? The gigabyte website says it fixed the memory
PAT mode issue.
