Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

The GSkill ram is clearly made for intel chipsets only as you can see on there product page here http://newgskill.web-bi.net/bbs/view...=g_ddr2&no=115. With intel's mem controllers on the chipset vs AMD's on the cpu die it makes sence that the timings for one or the other would differ.

I just grabbed some 1066 dominator ram and gonna give it a try. Hopfully i can get good results.
Like i posted above my 3dmark score went from 15,704 to 17,012 just by going from 800Mhz to 1066Mhz.

Ill post my results with this and my 9850@3.0 as soon as i get time to work at it.

I have also sence my last post got my 3.0G overclock completely 100% stable @ 1.558 volts and still only would hit 57deg. max on the core's and the cpu as the whole unit temp only reached 48 deg.

Edit. To answer you question Aussie FX, I have not tryed the phenom on xp however with my 6400+be i got the same Stable OC of 3.65Ghz on xp as I have on Vista64.
