Any tips to improve performance? There's a whole lot of settings I haven't gotten my head around yet, so any suggestions are most welcome.
To get P45 up to P35 level , you will need to mess with the rams : Static Read control, PL and co... download MemSet and check ya PL level there... if it's still at 10+ level lower it gradually 1 by one... and test thoroughly each time....

Biggest boost to get from memory for me is still to put the static Read control to Enable... I don't have 4 1Gb dimms so I have no idea if it works fine at 1080Mhz, BigCesar can't get his mobo to post at 1200mhz with SRC enabled and 4dimms... Maybe you can as you run lower fSB and Ram clocks...

If you get a good setup plz save it to the OC profile or write it down each time... as when you get it wrong the mobo will not post and it could reset all ya settings...
