ATI HD2900XT
Tagan 480W

The CPU is great and will sit at 3.6Ghz with no problems (400x9) but whenever I try and get some FSB/RAM bandwidth out of it I have a shedload of problems...

First of all, I can't get over 400-425 FSB, even with a 1:1 divider, 6x multi, and upped volts...
Secondly, I can't get th memory up to stock speed whatever I do... (using a 2x divider and 266 FSB etc)
Lastly, I have just bought another 2GB of the same RAM, and I can't for the life of me get the PC to run with all 4 sticks in... (this is at the default 800Mhz)

I've tried all I can think of to resolve this... including raising VTT, MCH, lowering GTLRef, upping VCore... etc etc but to no avail.
The settings I've been using/tweaking are:

MCH: 1.20V - 1.50V
VTT: 1.20V - 1.29V
ICH: 1.05V - slightly above, cant remember numbers
ICHIO: 1.5V - slightly above, cant remember numbers
GTLRef: 61% - 67%
DDR Ref voltage: 0% - +2%
DDR Voltage: 1.80V - 2.30V

RAM is running 5-5-5-18 2T

So what do you guys think the issue could be? Do I just have a really sh***y board? Or is it the RAM? Has anyone else used this RAM?
IMO Your 480watt power sounds very weak to this system! you need atleast a 680 watt power for that system.
