Read a few pages back there is a screenshot from Brother where he tested his card in 8x and in 4x. The 4x had a pretty decent performance drop.

First of all I'd like to thank all you guys for such a great forum, you've answered many questions I've had for a long time.

My problem is I don't seem to be able to get my system to boot at any thing above 400FSB. I've dropped the multi down to 6 and still no post. I've been running at 3.2GHz (356X9) Prime stable for a month now. I decided to drop the multi to see how far I could push the ram before I get a new CPU next week but no boot. I tried 450X6 and 425X7 ram timings 6-6-6-24 no post. it just reverts to previous settings. I know it's not the ram because they run fine @ 854MHz 4-4-4-12.

P.S. I've tried with just 2 of ram sticks also.

Stick 9x multi. Core speed is KING. E4300 is not designed for high FSB.

Well I figured I would get my best overclock wih the 9x multi, I was just trying to push my ram to see how fast I could get them to run. 425x7 is only 2.975GHz, I thought this should run no problem.

Ohh well as long as I don't get the same problem with a Q6600 or E6850 it doesn't matter.

The only real difference is in Burst Rate but for actual day to day use its fine and the performance hit on read/write is very small only a few point drop in Benching. Now if you were running as a server where people are accessing it all day then thats where you see you're Burst Rate really come into play.
