[Chris-red]

I too am looking for advice on this motherboard, I have a q6600 currently running @3.4 378/9/1.5v But I can't sort my memory out I have 4x1gb Geil RAM It wont run properly at 756mhz only at 567mhz this ramm is rated for 800 I can't see why it wont run a it. I have tried voltages between 1.8 and 2.2 and at some it bsod's before windows others it boots fine but errors in prime 95 after a few minutes.

Nothing to do with what the ram is rated to run at, the northbridge controls the memory and it can't handle the speeds you're trying to run with a quad and 4x1 GiB. You need a make a decision between faster cpu or higher clocked memory, or find some middle ground in between and settle for that.
