The Intel P965 and P35 chipsets can only run your memory at a minimum of 1:1. Nvidia chipsets can let you run your memory at a fixed value of DDR2-800 but there are not too many boards with Nvidia chipsets that can overclock effortlessly to 500 MHz and beyond the way the Intel P965 and P35 chipset can.
Many thanks at last a answer that gives me the insight i was lacking.....though id sort of come to the same conclusion without the tech detail....so iv been on the lookout for some 8500.....once again ta.
