I plan to use a 400Mhz FSB with it to, so I'd like to know why PC6400 would have problems with that speed.

Thanks.
Well, same rams can cause different behaviour on different boards, and the opposite. I have the Gskill 2GBPK and could get them to ~950 with the 533/800 divider and 4-4-4-12, no probs. But 533/533 and 533/667, they gave me trouble: some times they would run 3dMark loops overnight and then BSOD when starting Firefox...

Today I changed them with a pair of D9GMH-based Cellshocks, and this is what I got:


So I guess it's all about the sub-timings that we don't have access to, through the BIOS and how much they affect the memory's behaviour when overclocking. I am pressuming that my 2GBPKs propably kept a sub-timings at a very tight value, with specific dividers, and that stopped them from working properly (or the easier expanation, that Commando doesn't like them )
