* 266 ref.freq.
* ~1,7V MCH
* 4:5 divider

395FSB is my limit.

and how stable is it? and is your mem or the board holding you back from going for more?

Is the board. I can do wihout problems 400FSB/DDR2-1000 rock stable on an Asus P5W DH, and on a DFI RD600 my sticks do DDR2-1100 4-4-3-4 with no problems. BTW I haven´t test the stability at that freq, 1:1 ratio is where the perfomance is best in this board. And the 1333 strap sucks, timmings are waaaay relaxed.

Hi All,
I got a BadAxe2 last Friday and have spent the weekend trying to install windows with no success.

Basically it installs ok but on loading into windows on the second install reboot the system just hangs. I can get to windows using safe mode but just not normally.
