Well, you could walk your way up slowly to 3.6 GHz.

A lot of people are getting that, so that's why I think you should shoot for it.

As for the RAM, I leave it alone until I find the CPU's sweet spot, then try to squeeze the RAM too...

The 4:5 would let you run the RAM at stock and also run a 400 FSB for 9x400

If you want, you could give the NB some more juice and go for 8x450 with that same divider you'd be looking at 1125 MHz RAM, in which case you might want to upgrade

I still haven't found any RAM that will go past 1100 MHz stable on my Maximus Formula. I've had ReaperX PC28000 2x2 GB, Mushkin Redline PC28000 2x2 and G.Skills like yours. Next on the way are the Corsair Dominators 2x2 GB PC28500. Hopefully they get to where I want them to go.
