Well, if it was that simple :) I just don't understand it - There are
drivers for the chipset, and HT shouldn't be a problem with RH9. It
just completely wigs out. I just don't get it. *sigh* I'm going to try
with some different memory. Maybe the speed is wrong for it...

In short - I don't think it has anything to do with the chipset. I
think it's something else entirely.
