WORKSFORME; I've never had any problems with the "By SPD" setting on
my Asus A7V333, regardless of the BIOS version (currently 1011, but I
didn't have any problems with older versions either).
My Asus A7V has a single Crucial CT6472Z265 DIMM in it (512MB DDR
PC2100 unbuffered ECC).

Are you certain the modules you had problems with supported SPD? Not
all modules do...
