3) Ram Tweak

4) CPU=400*9， Ram=DDR2-1200 4-5-4-9-2T Demo



FSB Strap keep the same.
Higher fsb/memclk means higher efficiency.
1）400*9, DDR2-1200 4-5-4-9



2）450*8, DDR2-1350 5-5-4-9, sisoft memory bandwidth > 9k



3）514*7，DDR2-1285 5-5-4-9，9654mb/s



4） Asus Power, Super pi_32m = 13min30sec w/o any tweak.



still, higher fsb+higher memclk = faster.



5）P5K-Premium, 570fsb on Air (same chip , 565fsb on P5K3-Deluxe with same cooling)



Summary:
1） Nikos Mosfet
2） TRIO 1R1 Inductor
3） 8Layer PCB
4） 6.3v/561uf Solid-Alu-Cap

2．more volt.
1） Max CPU PLL Volt = 2.2v
2） Max vMCH = 1.95v
3） Max vDDR2= 2.55v

3．More tweak options
1） FSB Strap with corresponding Tips/Notes
2） FSB/MemoryCLK Ratio auto adjustable, improve overclk successful rate.
3） mem clk 1T/2T
