GFORCE100,

"...Allow me to ask, why are you running 10x300 instead of 9x333 to achieve 3GHz? Just disable EIST and you'll be able to run 9x333 just fine and if you do so and test in Everest, you'll see it helps your memory bandwidth and photoworxx benchmark considerably. At 333 run your memory at 266 for an effective 1066..."

Have been pondering making change to x9 multi, but have work related stuff stacked up. I did try x9 multi months ago, about the time Vegas 7.0 and MatLab R2007beta were released. Quick tests showed "i frame" sync slippage and MatLab verification error probabilities were suspect. Reverted back to x10 multi, 300FSB. Will have to give it another try, especially with new Vegas 7.0d release and purchase of new OCZ DDR2-8800 (cheap, nowadays) Will have to rethink EIST power usage vs., performance increase... (machine can sit idle for hours and would prefer to save on energy/greenhouse load)
