You guys are mixing up 1Gb and 2gb sticks... I can heartly recommend the 4GB kits but will test the 2GB kit next week (those are Microns for sure) they should be able to get me up to 1200mhz 5-5-5-15 for sure...
Will try some stuff N7, but eg if you want 3.6Ghz it's better overall to do it with a lower multi as you increase the bandwith of the ram and on the cores...
Bios TRFC options for 4gb kits : 55-60-70-80-85-105-132
N7 I booted with 350FSB and 8GB PC8000 Ram at 1053 : Bios set AUTO perf level at 8, manual I could go to 6 lowest.
Bandwith test 3.5ghz - 350FSB -RAM 1053Mhz - Perf level 6
Compare it with CPU at 3.6Ghz - 400FSB -RAM 1066Mhz - Perf Level 7
READ 8540 - Write 8481 - COPY 8684 - Latency 62.5ns
I would seriously go for 400FSB on this board... till maybe a newer bios gives a lower performance level...
HCI Test 4 instances 8GB Ram Perf Level 6
Couldn't set more than 1000 as the program wouldn't allow me to allocate more (maybe WinXP64 limitation , no idea)
