P4P800: Who Is Using All 4 DIMM Slots?

[TechTones]

With 2 x 256mb of 3500 HyperX I can do like 234 cas2. With 4 x 256mb and all 4 dimm's filled, it's clocks way under. More like 225 stable. It looks to get back up there I might need to run cas 2.5
which sucks to me.

I read once that stability went UP on the P4P800 with all 4 dimms populated. It seems less stable to me.

Anyone with any tips or experience with this?

Despite what some of the locals say...I don't think 4 x 256 WILL clock as well as 2 x

yeh, its less stable. 4 x256 hyperX were a bit less stable then 2

I find the fsb overclock is lowered with 4 installed, but the bandwidth is greater.

I'm wondering if should trade in those 4 256's for 2 x 512mb sticks.

In my OC'ing experience, I have never been able to do as good with 2 x 512 as 2 x 256mb no matter what platform at least for me.
