The SPD tool says the modules are "EPP Supported" in the EPP identifier property. There's a ton of information in the report, which is (and should be) irrelevant to me.

When all is said and done, there's still the fact that this setup ran since December until last month without so much as a single hiccup. No system changes were made in that time.

If could afford it, I'd have snapped the memory module and motherboard in half already and chalked it up to experience (again). Every ASUS mobo I've ever had eventually goes bad.
