Your patch didn't seem to make any difference so I'm going spend the next 
few days trying to figure out why (it may very well be that the memory 
module we have in the board isn't a correct one for SPD to work tho it's 
what shipped in the board so I would expect it to be correct).  Since I 
know very little about DDR RAM and SPD it may take me a few days to figure 
out what's going on.  On the flip side I may be a good person to figure it 
out because I'll suspect everything and take nothing at face value since I 
know nothing.  ;)

I'll keep you posted.
