I ask, because there's a few us who have, and I'm not able to get my L311 Malay 3.0C above 3.6ghz stable, using my MachII.
Also, I can't get any game timings to work at all.
My specs:
Abit Max3 (1.2 bios)
3.0C L311 Malay
2x256 3700 Gold
Antec 550w psu
Crucial Rad9800Pro
FWIW, I managed to get my 2.4C to 3.7 stable and my 2.8C to 3.94ghz stable with my Asus P4C800-E, so as you can see I'm disappointed with this.

Mine is as well a Malay L311...
Am thinking as well of selling this IC7-G Max 2 for a Max3 and my 3ghz chip for a 2.4C Malay for some high fsbs...dunno yet though...

Well my Max 3 doesn't seem to like my XMS 3500 in dual channel..
I mistakenly had it set up in single channel with sticks in dimm 1 & 2 to start with and i was prime stable at 245x15 with the ram on 5:4 and at 5-2-2-2 timings and 2.8v vdimm.
Since i've changed the ram into dimm 1 & 3 (and i've tried 2 & 4) i can't get prime to run at stock with the ram at SPD and even with 3.1v.. it fails prime on the first test.
The only way i've got it to run prime stable in dual channel is by leaving the cpu at stock and setting the ram to 3:2 (133mhz).
Also, running memtest86 or the microsoft memory tester on it in dual channel at 200mhz shows up no errors..
I'm out of ideas.. it can only be an incompatibilty as far as i can see.. anyone else got XMS3500 and a Max 3?
I have Corsair XMS3500 (2x512MB) and no problems at all.
I run 2-2-2-5 timings with DDR 440 , and all stable.
