Took me 3 days to get round to reading this. I guess I wasn't that psyched about the latest thing to give us better motherboard/memory timing compatibility.

Though it will be a nice feature when it goes mainstream, I must admit, adding non-standard memory timings and voltages after a CMOS reset does get annoying after so many failed overclocks.
