I just bought 2460. With fast memory that I had before motherboard worked only until running any chess engine. Than I tried a few another non-registered modules and with one of them motherboard was able to work for a few hours. But failures were stable. Yersterday I finaly found normal registered DDR modules and computer works stable from this moment, almost stable - one hanging had place, but possibly it is another problem. So I can't name my experience with 2460 successful. BTW, "registered" means that memory has register that delays sendings data to CPU for one cycle. So Tayn company was just lazy to adapt more quicker memory to work with their board. Victor
