I did some attempts and with high voltages for NB (1.73v), full auto for memory settings, including strap control and 1.4v, I was able to enter in Windows at 8x451 but upon starting prime95, it froze after 15-20 seconds. 8x460 and over result in det dram or struck in Windows boot.

It's like if the requirements to get over the mystical 8x450 threshold is a very very steep climb I guess something is wrong in the BIOS in terms of tweakings to support a 45nm quad better and I decided to leave at 8x440 for now until the new update which unlock this.

It almost feels like the way HD3870's had until the new BIOS was released for them. I wonder if thats going along the same train of thought.
