If you have the Load Line calibration @ Performance,this is the reason for the random bsods

The Load Line calibration is set to Normal as I have experienced random BSOD's setting it to Performance previously. Don't know why it is like this but if anyone can tell me, I would appreciate it. So I guess it's my RAM giving me random BSOD's with 0115...

Probably because the 0401 + 0501 BIOS include optimizations for high speed memory (that was written about the 0401 at least on Asus download). I see you are using OCZ 2x2GB 16000 memory how fast can you get them running stable on the Evolution? Last time I saw your settings you were running 418x11. Is that the case still? I had a hard time getting my 2x2GB Corsair DDR1800 memory to run stable at the rated speed. I'm afraid that my CPU is holding me back to go further than around 450x9, but my memory is not going much further than DDR1800.
Could you please post some settings if you are running your memory at DDR1800+ speed?

Higest I have come on Multiplier 11 is 448 FSB which gives me 4.928MHz (rated FSB 1792) and which I find pretty good given the high multiplier. On multiplier 12 I have managed 418 FSB which gives me 5.021MHz (rated FSB 1674). Guess I could manage higher FSB by lowering multiplier to 8 or 9 but I am mostly looking for highest clock (this is more effective in 3dMark series than in SuperPI), so I usually don't do that... As of BIOS 0201 it is not possible to set divider as in 0115, so that option is gone... Problem with these sticks (believe it is Samsung inside) is that they don't respond very well with higher voltage (recommended 1.9V), so it's kind of hard getting timings real tight...

Settings is more or less the same that I have posted before:

CPU Voltage 1.5400
CPU GTL Voltage Reference 0,62x
CPU PLL Voltage 1,6
FSB Termination Voltage 1,40
DRAM Voltage 1.90
NB Voltage 1,45
NB GTL Voltage Reference 0,67x
SB Voltage 1,2
Clock Over-Charging Voltage 0.90

Managed this yesterday and this is my first 5MHz ever: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=375121

The SuperPI 1 mill below is the highest I could get MHz wise but the 32 mill. is only an initial test and I now that I can go higher. Too loose RAM timings does not make these any good though but I'll work on them somewhat... ...when I have the time...
