Wrong again, and as you said below we are talking about a particular
motherboard with a particular chipset which does have this limitation, other
chipsets are irrelevent.

Duh, thats why it was noted as an aside, your not the only person who might
read the post and someone else might find the information helpful or
informative, if you do or not.  It is actually very relevant as it is his
chipset.  Cheaper clone taiwanese manufacturers such as AOpen, Abit, Asus
etc don't provide you with the level of support information as companies
like Intel, if there was info on the Aopen board published I would have
provided it as well.  I welcome you to try to find it.
