I think i hit the FSB wall :(..., will try the processor with RD600 soon

That's exactly where I am with my regular DS3 Rev.1 and E6600.
Can get up to FSB444 but that's too high for the CPU on 8x but since I'll be going on Vapo soon I want something that can give me higher FSBs so I know that's not what limits me when trying to hit the max with this CPU.
Currently thinking of either an Abit QuadGT or the new DFI Infinity P965.
