    Getting some better results with my Ballistix. I am currently Memtesting @ 1192Mhz 5-5-5-10 at 2.3vdimm with no errors on my P35 T2R. Wish I could get 4GB running like that

    Edit: Got the Vdimm down to 2.07v at the above speed and timings. Looking alittle better now

    Have you tried going higher? Mine were Memtest stable at 2.3V 1200 4-4-4-4-8 on the P35 DS4 tRFC42 PL5. I've ran 1T at 4-4-4-4 900 1.9V on the K9A2 without problems, quite pointless in terms of performance though.

    I am starting to reach where I want to be on proc and now and starting to test max of other things. I am struggling with FSB right now with 475+ on my quad.I have 475 stable but will be a battle much farther past. I will back off and test the ram more this weekend. Should have final results on Sunday.
