Yes, I did want the cusl2 mobo with no onboard audio or video. I

Well, I did notice a spectacular performance on the DNS performance 
table, for only 2 Asus P4T models included, and they didn't leave 
their e-mail addresses, so that I could check in with them. After 
looking at the cost of them, included the ram, I didn't think it was 
worth it, plus if you're saying they might cause some problems, that 
just make me feel better that I'm not considering them.
