I am using the 2GB kit of this same RAM and it has been pretty damn good. I am stable @ 430FSB 1:1, and haven't really spend that much time tweaking to find the weak link. I got my kit for $177 (after rebate). Price has gone up a little.

turn it off for some time, then unplug power and do cmos reset, then boot, should help
a friend of mine turned pc for 15min, done a cmos reset (no power cord, etc) and now is back @ 16x

These P965 mobos are really

ty - I have the same problem with GF7900GT and Gigabyte DQ6 and Asus P5B DLX - x1 link width. This might be a P965 bug or something.

I never thought to look at this when I had my DS3 - I just bought a P5B D that'll be here tomorrow. Is this a widespread problem? Is it a REAL problem (not a bad reading from the mobo)?
