You have other ram to try. If memtest is not passing that tells you something.

I don't have an EVGA board but I'm almost sure it's a nvidia nforce 200 chip , ;) , which adds extra pci-e lanes / sli function

its the new stepping of the x58 NB chip


its like the i7 920..... it was a c0 stepping

but they released a new stepping called the d0 stepping which was better.

the new b3 x58 chip is supposed to be better than the old version

B3 is a new stepping... fixes some small and insignificant issues and offers NO performance increase.

But that BS disclaimer is always mentioned so that the owners of the old stepping do not get disgruntled.

The B3 NB core stepping change will most likely allow BClocks above 222. This is where most systems will BSOD.

But, as with a change in core stepping on CPUs, you get lower voltages and higher OCs. And here with CPUs, Intel always claims that a core stepping change will not create a better chip. But the facts speak to the Opposite, a core stepping change can create an additional 1-3% performance increase!!

Might not sound like much, but every percent increase gets us closer to Quads running at 5.0GHz on Air.

I remember a time when Fit was saying the Classified's were crap... ;)

I believe they were crap. A number of bios revisions and chipset revisions later and voila!

Gosh, so sexy fit. I want to go back to water soon, just built up an i5 rig (just for folding) so it will be a while. But... I plan to have water on the i7 rig by January, gotta finish what I started with the i5 first. :)
