Also, the choice of strap affects the choices of memory speed you have available. I'm still working this out for this board
That is interesting - if indeed that is the case, then why is all over this thread 400Mhz the recommended setting for FSB Strap to North Bridge? Not knowing much about this setting, I was quite honestly following the 'recommended'. By chance I happened to take a peek at another user's BIOS Settings, who was stable at 3.8Ghz with much lower voltages & settings then I was, who had 333Mhz, and I thought about giving it a shot. Seems to be working wonders for me.
