My plan is to take note of all the Bios settings, try getting it at 6x333 and higher if I can, and then put it into the P35-DS3R.

I know that my ram is stable at 4-4-3-4 375MHz (750) 2.1V, and I've gotten into windows with the FSB up near 500 with an E6400. This is not with the new 1601 bios though. I don't believe I can downgrade any more than the version previous to this one without losing G0 support.
To update this, I did place the processor into my brother's computer to test it. He has a P35-DS3R and an AC7Pro. It booted right up at 333x9, and 375x8, I didn't want to push it a lot farther cause I don't know what his ram can do. Both were with 1.3125V.

I checked the settings on mine (P5B-E), I have the FSB termination voltage @ Auto, C1E disabled, CPUID disabled, Vanderpool enabled, CPU TM enabled, Execute Bit enabled, and PECI enabled. I am running 310x9 @ 1.3V in bios.

I'm going to get on the phone with Asus tomorrow to get their take. I'm hoping they're going to tell me that this is something I can fix with a Bios update, otherwise I'll be jumping on the X38 train in a few months...

Any other thoughts?
