Improved +20 sec over my previous best with this setup with one setting.
Transaction Booster: 2 :D
I haven't figured out exactly what this setting does, i think it increases the performance level setting(another mysterious term). The boost in memtest reported bandwidth was not insignificant, @500FSB 1:1, about 200 mb/s!
I'm very happy with this result.

E8200 ( Q741A402 batch, OEM)
P5K SE
Ballistix 8500 (16fd5 batch)
Corsair HX620
etc.

Depending on the setting used ( Boost or Relax ) Transaction Booster adjusts the Performance Level ( raises or lowers it ).
It's not a direct input setting, it's a offset setting.
Boost means better performance, which is decreasing the Performance Level setting.
Relax means lower performance, yes it increases the Performance Level number ( might help with stability some times, depending on your FSB, DRAM Read & Write Static & Dynamic Control, and the FSB Strap, and some RAM timings including tCL ).

At those settings you shall be able to go down to performance level 6 ( with a tad higher NorthBridge Voltage ) or Performance Level 7 ( with reasonable NB Voltage )

You're talking a little bit over my head there, I'm a newb when it comes to setting ram timings. All I know is what I've read (not much) and seen in other people's settings.
DRAM Read & Write Static & Dynamic Control
I don't ever remember seeing those settings in my bios. Nor can i adjust NB vCore. :(

I'd probably be better off leaving Transaction Booster enabled @ 0 and editing the PL setting directly in memset, no?
