This is a Arima HDAMA board with 8 512M Corsair memory modules
(which the Rioworks site says should work).  Today, we discovered
that it works OK with 6 memory modules (3 GB) but not 8.  If anyone
is running a similar setup and needed to do some BIOS tweaks, I'd
love to hear about it.

Have not seen any good suggestions on this.

True.  ETA one month (per 3ware tech support).
