Official GIGABYTE X38-DQ6/X38T-DQ6 Info/BIOS Thread

[Alcibiades]

Guys, i need serious help with some things. As y'all know the memory is split into two channels, A=yellow slots, B=red slots.

My question is this...is it better for stability/overclocking/in general to use the yellow or red slots...or does it matter at all?

Second, strap settings...that OCZ kit is available in Ireland, the 1150MHz job...but i'm limited by alot of factors, FSB/voltage/straps etc.

I have two options in bios, either use the 2.66C or 2.66D strap which will give me 1133MHz....which is better?, C = 200 D = 400, any thoughts on this?

I have the OCZ kit, you know the 1150MHZ job
