Do you have 32 bit OS or 64 bit? If you have 32 bit, that's why.

I did some reading, and this seems to be common with this model motherboard.
It may simply be a hardware limitation.

OK, thx for your info.

Well, I will built a brand new game computer.
I have order the following ( tell me if you think it will be a good putter)

Windows 7 -x64
I7 -930
DDR3 3x2GB
MB - GA X58A-UDR3
Graphic Card - NVidia GTX 260+
Cabinet - Antec 300
PC power - Corsair 650W

What do you think ? I think I also have good chance to OC if I like to.

Very nice...

but if you want to overclock then it's best getting DDR3-1600 with a CAS latency of 6 or 7.

OK, Thx

Maybe is it that what I order, my friend help me to do the order (LOL)

I will back when I'm ready for doing some OC tasks.
