you might need to use A64 tweaker to do some timing changes that the epox bios doesnt allow or show...

It looks to me that the standard newcastle/winnie ram settings are not gonna fly with the Vinnie/SD updated mem controller.... and its gonna take some trial and error to figure out what they like.

my 3200 vinnie retail (boxed) should be here monday so I'm flyin by the seat of my pants but have read alot of feedback. It also appears (from other forums) that the SanDiego controller is more sensitive than the venice.

I'm quite sure that with the proper feedback to this forum and ET, the folks writing the bios code will make the appropriate changes in the next bios release.
I've actually managed to get this working in Dual channel now. It seems a HTt of 3x if preferable to 4x. Gaming and general rig useage have met with no probs for about 12 hours now which is good.
All my mem setting are at auto for the mo. I'm going to try and tighten these timings a bit later. I'll try 1t first, there no reason why the mem shouldn't be able to do this - tis gskill after all The bios seems ok, it idenifies my chip correctly.

I'll let you know how I get on
