    I had to reformat and now when I use the direct console to turbo extreme, cpu-z shows that it does increase the speed but after 3 seconds it goes back to the normal speed and then 'turbo extreme' is turns off.

    Next when I hit my FN+down to hit play I want it to open up my ZUNE software, but it doesn't do anything. I installed everything under ATK on the asus driver site.\

    EDIT: also my battery wont charge to 100%? it goes to 96 and that is it...

    Install Power4Gear. Don't know why but DC requires it for overclocking.

    I think there's an ATK Media program you need to install for the play/pause buttons to launch a media player.

    I think that's normal. If you go through a few charge cycles you'll notice it charges to different levels sometimes. It may be annoying but it lengthens the life of your battery by not charging it to 100% all the time. Mine charges to 100%, and then doesn't recharge it until it drops below 95%, ie: if I fully charge it to 100% and let it discharge to say, 96%, it will stay at 96% when I plug it in again.
