Sorry to go off topic here :

@Devious : They are, but your ram isn't really liked by the board... have you tried 1406 bios ? 500FSB was really no issue on my 2 boards with the quad...with Mushkin and Gskill PC8000 ram 1081Mhz is absolutely no issue, Mushins 4gb kit can even do 1120mhz... the reapers I had were troublesome...
