Above is a full motherboard compatibility chart for the booster. For some of you DFI owners, usage of the Booster may not be possible due to DFI's overvoltage protection. If you are overclocking an AMD Socket A based system, this tool is a must, as we all know the true power of the socket A does not begin to show until the FSB is cranked well beyond the 200MHz mark. For this to be possible at tight timings (especially if you are using ram with winbond BH-5/6 chips) you need volts.
Installation
Installation was quite simple. All that was necessary was placing the DDR booster in the appropriate DIMM slot, then removing the PSU's male 24-pin connector from the motherboard and plugging it into the female 24 pin connection on the booster, then plugging the boosters male end into the motherboard. Then you connect the color-coded 4-pin molex connectors into the appropriate slots in the Booster and you are good to go. Always make sure the DDR voltage in BIOS is set to 2.6V.
