X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

[jackbrennan2008]

Hi all,

I managed to get my Rampage Formula X48 stable at 500 FSB with my Q9450 @4ghz. I'd been having tremendous trouble getting there, but came across this thread which pretty much got me over the line. Thank you!

I have the profile saved so i can run the Everest Cache and memory benchmark and post it up a little later on.

Here is a CPU-Z screen shot:
