My brother used this board. It is, quite possibly, one of THE most picky
boards for one of the most picky chipsets. As I recall, it did (at one
point) have problems with Corsair (among many others) memory.
The main thing I would suggest is to verify you are running the latest BIOS.
Or drop that dinosaur entirely. :)
Actually, you could probably disable dual channel mode and be fine as well.
This wouldn't even drop performance much, if any...dual channel memory does
surprisingly little for the AMD platform in general, even less for the K7
line of chips. Unlike the Intel Netburst architecture, AMD chips are
typically far more dependent on memory latency than memory thoroughput.
Indeed, dual channel mode actually adds latency, so many times breaking the
dual channel into single channel and pushing down timings and/or increasing
memory bus frequency results in improved performance.
The A7N8X was the beginning of the end of Asus for the AMD platform in my
book.

NF2, have no problem in spd mode, only mode it will run in. Occasionally
get memory can not be written/read errors but I do not think those are
actually memory problems.

Interesting. I've had excellent luck with Corsair's XMS line. Running
latest BIOS? NF2/NF3/NF4? Will it run >SPD in single channel mode?
If NF4/A64, what chip? Pre-Venice/SanDiego/Toledo/Manchester (E rev) chips
were much more picky...
