| DFI BIOS makes it easy to fake memory results Just in case some readers here don't have their ear as tightly pressed to the ground as others, I will summarize and let you know what has happened that can make it very easy to fake memory overclocks...and I don't want any of our friends here buying bad memory because of this. again, if you are reading reviews, buying memory in forums, or on e-bay and using overclocking results as a guideline then read on as this may very well save you some hassle.

| if you're buying memory from ebay/forums with the aim for overclocking you should not pay more than retail price in my humble opinion
