    I'm just looking to increase bandwidth and tweak the timmings more on my RAM. I should have my new Mushkin's tomorrow so, hopefully, I'll be able to hit 1150-1200MHz w/ reasonable timmings.
    I'm not sure if this will help with your Mushkin, but it might, so to give you a rough guide, my Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1066 was able to hit:

    Primary Info : 4-4-4-9-3-25-5-3
    Secondary Info: 7-3-5-4-5-4-5

    DRAM voltage was at 2.16v, max rated voltage for the ram is 2.2v but it can cope with 2.3v max 24/7 if you have at least one fan on your side panel cooling the ambient temps.
    If I run it a 2.3v I can bring it down to 4-4-4-8-3-20-5-3, but I don't think it is entirely 100% stable, might need a tiny tiny bit more voltage, not going to risk it though, the board overvolts it enough for me to worry.
