1:1 is stuck to pretty high PL, it's better to use other dividers...

I did the testing a few pages before will sum it up again :

400FSB and Ram at 800Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 9 (8 doesn't post)

400FSB and Ram at 1003Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

400FSB and Ram at 1066Mhz -- Bios sets 9 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

450FSB and Ram at 900Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

450FSB and Ram at 1081Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 8

500FSB and Ram at 1200Mhz -- Bios sets 13 Perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

600FSB and ram at 1200Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 11 (though RAM not stable at all)

At the moment this board needs some higher PL than P35 and X38/48 to remain stable... Don't forget the board is only a few weeks old and future biosses will hopefully bring some more performance and ram compatability...
