good luck...is your new quad a QX9650?...if so, will be interested in hearing how it goes especially with vista install...XP SP2 was fine at 4400 mhz...vista was touch-n-go at stock speeds...it is either the bios or a combination of the bios and 9650 when it comes to installing and making vista work.

i am about ready to shutdown and pull the 9650 (to send back to clubit.com for replacement)...i think i will insert my Q6600 to see if that coooperates with the bios and vista...if it does, then i would lean more towards something is wrong with the 9650.

No, Q6600, will probably grab QX9770 when they become available though. My first EE cpu, but the high fsb, low multi options of the other Yorkies do not leave much headroom for clocking, so given no choice it looks like.
