Guys I think I screwed up: I bought ram too slow for my goals. For some reason the only factor I weighed once the 2 diff ram types were in my newegg basket was price. I bought 8GB (2x2x2) of DDR800. Instead of the 1066

Right now I'm at 1.2vcore 3.2Ghz (all else stock; vcore could be potentially less)
I tried to isolate the ram and couldn't go much further than 800Mhz.
When doing 901 (for 3.6Ghz), I gave the NB 1.4 and the ram 2.25v (6x multi) and boot process gets hung @ first prompt. I've gotten REALLY rusty -- any ideas on where to go next? I would apprecite a good plan of attack to see if it really is my ram

Thanks
