Just like memory...the lower the numbers give you lower latency but you have to keep the speed low to get it to work. The strap is actually the reference frequency. How do you have the reference and memory frequencies set now?

Generally speaking, if the system is running fine with 2 sticks then increasing the vMCH a bit can usually get you over the hump with 4 sticks. Both the vDIMM and vMCH are related to speed but the vMCH is also related to how many sticks the MCH has to manage.

Added additional 2GB.

MCH @ 1.375
10 X 350 FSB
CPU @ 1.375, but Everest reports 1.32

333 ref/1333freq

Orthos fails almost immediately, but Windows is stable ?

I will go to 1.4 on MCH and see what happens.
