  Success report,

The reboot was ok, i loaded the default bios options, there was an 
automatic DMI update or something like that.
My mac address changed, but i don't care, it's still driven by 
forcedeth, i updated udev to rename it to eth0, so it's cool.
My bios is downgraded, so the error i wanted to correct in the first 
place (don't halt when HW supports dual channel 800Mhz ddr) is gone.
Please consider my motherboard supported :).
Thanks a lot,
Balint
