For more ram performance set AI transaction booster to MANUAL and try 2 settings below the auto setting... eg if auto is 13 try to boot with 11 and run eg Superpi 32M, if all okay set again one lower...
Awesome! Will do!
For the CPU Clock Skew & NB Clock Skew, PMP had mentioned setting them to 400 & 100 (respectively) - is that standard for all CPU's? I'll be using the Q9450 - do I need to change those values?

Are those scores Prime95 stable? Awesome scores there Cob! Can't wait for you to dig into oc'ing the Q9450 into that board!

That is AWESOME! Exactly what I wanted to hear. I have a Q9450 that I'll be OC'ing over the weekend. Running at stock for a few days. I'd like to take it as close to 500FSB as possible on air - your post sounds promising. Care to share your BIOS settings?
