What's AM2 Boost? It's disabled in the BIOS. I didn't want to mess around with it as it could be dangerous. Does anyone know what that's for?

It sounds like it's an automatic memory overclocking tool. I wouldn't use it though.

" According to ASRock the AM2 Boost technology boost the DDR2 memory performance up to 12,5%."

Could that be dangerous for the ram?

I tried it on and off, did benchmarks with both and found that it gave no performance gain whatsoever. I'd leave it off mate.

It probably won't cause harm, but it may be unstable. I would do all overclocking manually, none of that auto OC stuff.
