I'm sorry to be troubling you again.
Originally got my La in June last year
ran on my 3200 754 @270x9 1:1 - 1 module went bad & rma end of August (thnx Onepagebook):) )

Upgraded to 939 & 3500+ winnie. max clock @245x11 270x9 or anything higher no go. not great but put it down 2 winnie. Memtest passes 100% BSOD into xp.

Got Opteron 148 december runs great with divider 9:10 264~268x11 will even go to 273 (not prime stable) this is @ 2,3,3,5 1T 2.85~2.9v

However i now can't run at 2.5 1:1 & get memtest #7 errors even at 240x11
which is hardly challenging.
Am aware of max Asynch/Read preamble needeing to be tweaked for opteron. Best result i've had so far is an overnight run last night results :-

Errors test 7 - oass 2 Bit 2 Count=14 ran about 9hrs

settings:-

FSB Bus Frequency, 245
LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio, 4
CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio, 11
CPU VID Startup Voltage Control, Auto
CPU VID Special Control, 104.00%
LDT Voltage Control, 1.2

Row to Row Delay (tRRD), 2
Write Recovery Time(tWR), 2
Write to Read Delay(tWTR), 2
Read to Write Delay(tRTW), 3
Refresh Period(tREF), 3120
Write CAS# Latency(tWCL), 1
DRAM Bank Interleave, Enabled
DQS Skew Control, Aoto
DQS Skew Value, 0
DRAM Drive Strength, W4
DRAM Data Drive Strength, 3
Max Async Latency, 9

Read Preamble Time, 7
Idle Cycle Limit, 64
Dynamic Counter, Enabled
R/W Queue Bypass, 8x
Bypass Max, 4x
32 Byte Granulation, Disable(4 Bursts)

I've started from a low starting point 245 just 2 see if i can coax these modules into running 1:1

Don't believe thers's much wrong with settings, may be wrong.

Any help comments appreciated.

Edit:
Just 4 fun have cleared cmos - loaded optimised defaults - saved & exited. Checking that DMI was updated.
on default tiings 2.5,4,4,8 won't boot to xp
But changing 2.5-->2.0 loads perfectly.

bottom line seems I am having serious trouble now getting 2.5.
