I just set mine up. Updating the BIOS makes a huge difference. Memory setup can be bit tricky at first, if you have some spare DDR sitting around - keep it handy as you may need it until you can get into the BIOS and change a couple of things.

I now own a barton, the baby of the bunch (2500+). So far so good. Haven't gone to SATA yet. My old 80 gb drive isn't even half full.

Best resource for BIOS settings with the Corsair memory & the A7N8X Deluxe is this Corsair support forum. I'd suggest read through of their FAQ, it will save you some headaches.

Best of luck,
