    Where I'm now
    It is assembled 8 hours ago.Actually had tried like a day to flash the BIOS and make it running with the 1504.(You should have a SE to see how buggy the BIOS is,I was a sec away RMA)

    But finally got it up and running.All the software is installed.
    Out of the box since the first second it ran in 2925MHz.No problem what so ever.

    But as you see the superPi results are not great.
    Also note that I've already lost the 3 days old RAMs.
    These are done with my friends old RAMs.(SEs are known RAM killers :D)
    The newer ones were with 4 chips but couldn't handle a serious FSB.Although this ain't too.
    Can't do more than 670 for any Kingston KVR 667s.Anybody got an idea on the RAM timings I should try?
    CPU has the potential.It can do a good POST in 3.6GHz even.Always RAM fails.(the LED poster halts @ VRAM or BSOD)

    Intel E2200 @ 3000MHz
    ASUS Striker Extreme 1504BIOS
    1GB Kingston KVR667 @ f**king 667 DDR
    Mercury(ECS) 8500GT 512MB GDDR2 with Qimonda chips
    LG 20X SATA DVD RW
    Hitachi GST 250GB 7200RPM 8M (Slow/transfer rate @ 60s :P)
    Powerlogic Azzura 2000 case + Powerlogic Modena 2000s PSU (500w peak :P/rated 250W)
    2x92mm stock fans at front and rear/all sotck cooling/added ASUS NB cooler for chipset

    Forgot to tell,Rear fan removed coz of assembling probs.That sideways turned SATA ports are a pain in the ass.Had to make a hole in the HDD drive bay to fix the SATA connectors without a right angle.Then we lost the toolless mounring bracket for HDDs.:P

    super pi still not support multicore pcs ne?? its a single threded app. so will not giv max power in multicore pcs

    I don't know about you, but I can't increase the Vdimm to 1.9V or the PC gets unstable. My RAMs does well at 1.8V an d 800MHz 5/5/5/15 (a little tighter, but doesn't matter). They are supposed to do well up to about 840MHz, but not anymore, without relaxing timings further.

    Why do you want to increase the RAM clock anyway? 333x11 should do 3666MHz ne? First find the CPU's limitations. Then find the RAM's. If RAM can do higher, go for it. Else leave as it is, or buy faster RAM.

    And why the heck aren't u using the 1950XT in it? :/

    No more than 1.85V is possible with this RAM. 5-5-5-15-1/2T aint possible for more than 667 even on stock FSB.4-4-4-12 is not possible at any means.Lowest I checked was 533.
    And I'm well surprised of the X1950XT matter asked from you.It needs 125W under 3D load,a 250W rated PSU will blow up the whole rig in a minute with that PSU.I think I dont have to mention that nVIDIA chipsets needs power and heats well.

    BTW anusha what is your DDR 2 cntroller ref voltage/CH_A and CH_B ref voltages?I tried tweaking them.NO + voltages do.So I tried lowering the ref voltage and feeding more.Neither doesn't work.I think I must RMA this mobo.:P
    I have LDT multiplier from 1X to 8X.Now LDT=Lightning Data Transport which translates in to AMD CPU.What the f*** does it do in my BIOS?Even from the old and in latest.I changed it.No effect was done.Alos there is a LDT spectrum :P Do you by any chance have a LDT?

    aww well, my KVR's work @ 850Mhz on 6 6 6 20, and 800Mhz on 5 5 5 15 no problems, i think ur Superpi score is low because of the 1Mb cache u have, and the lower FSB can be responsible but im not sure tho, and wtf get a new PSU and stick that 1950XT in it lmao, nice mobo man, btw my RIG does the 1M test in 15.9ish seconds when its @ 3.2GHz/FSB 1600/Ram 800/

    i didn't read all the specs. just looked at the CPU, mobo, RAM and VGA :P

    i have no idea what those voltages are and they are irrelevant to me :P

    Here are the (very basic) BIOS pages on my mobo. And I like that it is very simple. :D
    Note: These are not the current settings however.

    Wtf is a LDT...mine definitely doesnt have one hahha, its a P5K btw P35, like older brother of Anushas P5B-E, anyway those high end boards are bloated with useless crap.
