Doesn't seem to matter what I do, 1066 will not work.
Random freeze, crashes games etc. no bluescreen, not that bad.

Well, i'm starting to think maybe it has something to do with the huge difference of FSB and DDR in this system:

Q6600, def multi 9 = 266
PC2-8500 = 533

I run 400FSB, multi 6, 1:1 ram... 800mhz
SO
I'm thinkin, that because i run with 9/6=1.5xFSB=600Mhz on my Northbridge, that is under heavy load, and cannot manage 1066 properly.. maybe it has something to do with strap? I still really don't know what strap is, as no one seems to be able to explain it to me

So when running default, the difference between FSB and DDR is so big, that it crashes? because 266x2=533 (def ram clock)...

When I get water on it, i'll try and go 400x8, 533DDR, and see if it will run properly.

Btw, it still does the weird crashing thing with sleep, but im beginning to think it's vista and not my hardware that's messed up... I think it's been doing it all the time, i honestly haven't used sleep enough to determine when it worked 100%. Now it seems to work 8/10, and the pattern is kind of random.

btw mullet, is that you having a bluescreen in the bottom left corner of your desktop?
