I have a GSkill 2x1Gb 3-4-4-8 HZ 1T DDR-500 and very problems. My System:

-Motherboard Asus A8V Deluxe Rev.2 (chipset VIA K8T800Pro) and last bios.
-Opteron 170 Dual Core with high vdimm and LDT x4, x3.
-Source BeQuiet 400 W PFC.

Well, Proving each I indeed modulate in solitaire with himself ALMOST its specifications for HZ: 3-4-4-9 1T DDR-500.
Mounting both modulos, it sweats until managing to pass the test: 3-4-4-15 1T DDR-500, dual channel (TRAS at 15 and other latencies relaxed).

When obtaining to pass the test procedi to take the Windows and loaded, but for example the Super test Pi 1 Mb already gave errors.

I can do this configuration: 2.5-3-3-6 1T DDR-480 (240 fsb), being totally stable (SuperPi 16 mb happened simultaneously in both cores).

Desperate already, I wrote mail to GSkill Suppot in Europe and give this settings:

Hardware memory hole: disable
Bank Interleaving: auto
Burst lenght: 4 beats
CAS: 3
TRAS: 15
TRP: 4
TRCD: 4
TRRD:2
TRC: 7
TRFC: 14
TRWT: 4
TWCL: 1
TWR: 3
Asynclat: 8
Read Preamble: 5.0 ns
2T command: disable
Vddr: 2.5~2.7v = OK

With this settings I can run Windows and Sisoft Sandra benchmark (cpu, multimedia, memory) without errors and GSkill specifications for HZ: 3-4-4-(15) 1T DDR-500.
But in SuperPi program always crash in >= 1 mb and Memtest86+ 1.65 I have errors a lot in test 5 (very strange).

When ask to G.S.Technician says: "try TWCL: 2" .. but dont work.

Now my system run stable: 216 fsb (2.5-3-3-6) - 259 HTT x10= 2590 mhz (2.6 vdimm and 1.50 vcore)

There is somebody can help me? I would like get 250 fsb (.. or more!) Please!

(I hope that my message is understood. Excuse my incorrect language.)

Asus has many problems with AMD platform....
TWCL: 2 in DFi mobo works good but not for ASUS i think

mine are not stable when TRC=7
You might wanna try TRC=10
But I think the Asus board is holding you back.
