One last feedback from me: At least on my motherboard (Asrock A770Crossfire) the reason for the missing _PSS tables is solved:

The BIOS disables C'n'Q *silently* (even when the setting is set to "Enabled") if memory modules from a certain vendor are used. In my case it were those:

A-Data AD2800001GOU2 2x1024MB Kit A-DATA DDR2 800MHz CL5

If i use DIMMs from another manufacturer C'n'Q works.

However, i still think that's a BIOS bug, since all DIMMs i use are JEDEC-compliant, CL5, 1,8V so no "fancy" overclocking/overvoltage modules.

And for the decision to silently ignore a user setting without printing a message at POST the BIOS programmer needs a visit with a cluebat.
