go with the latest "B04" beta bios and flash the boot block ("wb" switch) to ensure you have all the strap parameters set correctly.

can u give me the right strap meters then, so i don´t do anything wrong

i have 9136 Dominators and i top out at 540...but, part of my problem is running a Q6600...i am thinking an E6600 or E6400 would allow a higher clock on the FSB and memory side.

i hit 540 Mhz on the memory with the shipping bios...future updates did not change that number.

follow this flash procedure that i posted back in this thread about 10 days ago...my procedure will assure proper flashing of your boot block on your board in addition to the normal bios area to ensure the correct parameters are set...just to give you a little insight into the boot block...i finally flashed mine after seeing sub-par results from PCMark 2005 compared to my Abit QuadGT...once i re-flashed the bios and boot block with the same bios file, my board scored 600 points higher in PCMark 2005 bench...nothing changed with my hardware; just flashed the boot block...normally, the boot block is not flashed unless bios file is updating that area.

it might have been my board having a some what corrupted boot block and my re-flashing it got it back on track...you might not see any better results..i suggest that you run PCMark 2005 before flashing to get your baseline score and then go ahead with the flash...re-set all the same parameters and then re-run PCMark 2005 to see if you are better off...it was for me!
