Go for Crucial Ballistic BL2KIT12864AA1065 2GB kit will clock to over 1200 at 5,5,5,15 or 1066 at 4,4,4,12 on this board excellent memory.

I'm at 600mhz at 5,5,5,15 stable all day long,

If your in the UK try overclockers.co.uk £79 +vat

I confirm... i am stable at 1200mhz 5-5-5-5 with 4 x 1gb of crucial pc8500 at 2,25V from bios and at 1066mhz 4-4-4-4 at 2,20V from bios.
The crucial run very good with this mobo!

is this with the 802 BIOS?

0505 the best for me... 0802 under test....

0802 still seems to have the divider issues somewhat.... I am still reworking..

Any change logs yet? they must have loosened the NB timings again, or changed the way the performance options work because now I can boot with DRAM STATIC READ and DRAM CLOCK TWISTER set to Enabled/STRONG.... had to set Transaction Booster to Disabled (1) to get it stable.

My speeds went up at 450x8 DDR2 900 4-4-4-8-3-25-3-3-7-5-4-6-4-6

With bios 0505 i am prime stable for about 7 hours at 1200Mhz 5-5-5-5 with read static control Enable and clock twister on Strong. Np with this bios... and i think is the best for me with good divider choise.

try this
900 4-4-4-8-3-25-6-3-7-5-4-5-4-4

thats even faster...

thats even faster...

Wont even boot, prolly needs more DRAM volts to get it though.... still my 900 is pulling 9k+ read and 8-8.2k write/copy with about 54ns

Hey guys, yesterday my rig was running fine (see sig), Q6600 at 350 x 9. I received my second SATA DVD burner, so I unplugged the computer, cracked open the case and installed the burner. I also pulled off the Ultima90 cooler and added a bit more thermal paste, because I was getting high temps on 1 core during load test in Everest.

After I put everything back together, when I went to start it up, it would not post. Everything was spinning (all fans, all the LED's) and the board seems to have full power. The power switch won't even work to turn it off... I have to actually flip off the power at the back of the PSU (Corsair 620).

I hooked up the mini LCD, and tried again. I'm stuck at CPU INIT, with all fans running full blast and board LED's lit up. After shutting it down, I cleared the CMOS by holding in the button for ten seconds. Still stuck at CPU INIT. I uplugged the new burner, still stuck. Played with my RAM (two sticks, different slots, one stick, Channel A), still no go.

Any ideas? Possible short? Take out the CMOS battery? Take MoBo out of case and off of mobo tray, hook up the bare essentials? Anybody else have this problem, and find a workaround?
