Currently my coworker Tom Zimmerman is doing the work so I am not up
on all of the details.  But there are several undocumented registers
that when set to the values the previous BIOS used allow the board
to work.  Otherwise the board fails.  Since it is not know
how to compute these magic values I consider the board broken.
Because changing ram sticks could change what they need to be.

In addition though less important the code should really be structured
to cope with multiple memory speeds and possibly the single/dual
channel issues.
