    ASUS P6T memory qvl/i7-930 compatibility questions

    I recently purchased an ASUS P6T, an i7-930 (retail) and a 6GB memory kit,
    and have the following compatibility questions:

    Kingston HyperX 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C8D3K3/6GX

    RE: Memory, this isn't listed in the mobo manual qvl (qualified vendor list)
    I cannot download the updated asus pt6 memory qvl, I just get an undisclosed browser error despite trying to do so with different computers.

    Buried in the mobo manual pages on memory compatibility notes and qvl tables it states "This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 Megabit (Mb) chips or less"

    The memory specs for my Kingston HyperX are:
    Description: 6GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL8 DIMM (Kit of 3) XMP
    Detailed Specifications: Standard 256M X 64 Non-ECC 1600MHz 240-pin Unbuffered DIMM (DDR3, 1.65V, CL8, FBGA, Gold) (Datasheet)
    Mfgr's System P/N's: N/A
    Form Factor: Memory Module
    Pieces/Unit: 3 (Three 2GB modules, totaling 6GB)
    Warranty: Lifetime

    So basically this is the wrong memory? or can anyone see the updated p5t qvl update on their support page, if so is this memory listed?

    RE: i7-930 CPU, When I go to the asus support site the 930 is not listed as a supported processor, could this be because it is new, or is there some difference other than speed between this and the 920 (which is supported)? Such as the board needs firmware or bios changes for the 930?

    ----------
    Edit: nevermind I'm just going to return this memory to frys, and get something from the vendor list in the manual. then try the 930 in the p6t and see if it works. hate to make the long drive for this but wt* should have known better than to listen to a store clerk for tech advice.
