PQI doesn't work once again...

I installed a new F8c beta BIOS version on Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 motherboard yesterday. It appeared that this bios had broken memory compatibility once again. My PQI DDR3-1066U memory is not supported by this version (they worked ok with F6c, F6, F7 BIOS versions). So I needed to downgrade to F7. If you have this motherboard, be careful with upgrading to F8c and be sure that your memory is supported.

PQI now works with Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4

As you might remember, I had lot of problems with assembling my Core i7 system. One of the main reasons appeared PQI DDR3-1066U memory. They were incompatible with Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 motherboard. I wrote Gigabyte about it back then. I don't know if they really considered this issue because of me, however, this RAM is working with the motherboard now. I tried them with current F6c BIOS. I don't know from which version they are compatible, but they weren't working with F3 BIOS for sure. As result I have 6GB of RAM now :).
