All performance tests run on SiS 655-based motherboards utilized two 256MB Corsair XMS PC3200 modules set at CAS2.5 and running at 266MHz, 333MHz and 400MHz (dual channel). Any other performance-enhancing timings (like Command Rate or Bank Interleave) were enabled in SiS 655-based motherboards that contained such timings.
All performance tests run on E7205-based motherboards utilized two 256MB Corsair XMS PC3200 modules set to CAS 2/2T/5T/2T timings and running at 266MHz (dual channel). Any other performance-enhancing timings (like Command Rate or Bank Interleave) were enabled in E7205-based motherboards that contained such timings.
All performance tests run on 845PE motherboards utilized one 512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 module set to CAS 2/2T/5T/2T timings and running at 333MHz. Any other performance-enhancing timings (like Command Rate or Bank Interleave) were enabled in motherboards that contained such timings.

Things must have changed since this article is written and now. I myself had to RMA a board that I bought off ebay with MSI. It was a painless process, altough it did take about a month altogether until the board was back, but I had no problems whatsoever with their customer support.
