Would changing to that bios help anything? thx

On my old ram, I could hit 2.98 stable.... so I hoped to hit 3 gig...

now even 2.98 would be nice!
Mr.Kakarot, to make OCing easier, you should find the limit of the CPU and RAM separately. After you have that, you can set the optimal freq for both. You find the RAM max by using a low multi and increasing FSB until you start getting errors in memtest. Test the CPU by using a divider for the mem and test in windows with prime or PI.
