@Campbell, non native english speaking me thought your cat already died.

@aGeom: Impressive raid results indeed, what raid drivers version do you use?
And thx for the boot ref note, with CB Tracers i managed to boot at 280MHz but I had to reduce the HT and NB multi to 7-8 but I can run mem at 1066 like speed with 4-4-4-12 timings now.

Cat 8.3 drivers. I can't have HT<>NB multis, C1 error.

I just finish to install Vista x64 SP1 @2750 speed, only one freeze on the 1st reboot, but voltages are lower than what I had before, I'll try to post some BIOS photos later.

CB Tracers are these ones?

Can be 64bit os makes a difference, i use the 8.4 beta hotfix release.
Hmm with an 9500 all those should work HT<=NB (NB FID+4)<=9

I have those
These are the same without led's i think. LED's can be usefull to detect weather the ram started or not during startup but they make a 17€ difference.

I know, with MSI/ASUS had no problem setting HT<NB, but with DFI even if I set HT to AUTO and NB to 05(x9) I got C1 errors @ HTref 250. I have the feeling that my DFI have problems, or maybe I need more time to know it better, I also have 2 more Lanparty's 939 Expert-Opteron170@3000/UltraD-X2 3800+@2700 and had no problems at all, overcloking wise.

They go well with DFI, color wise.
I've been thinking if I should go 2Gb 1066 or 4Gb 800, and I have been targeting those Tracers.
