Sorry it took me so long, I've been quite busy. So here it is...

Rampage Formula
Q9550 C1 @ 8.5x495
G.Skill 2x2GB PC2-8500 (1:1); kit couldn't handle DDR2 1188 [jk] [/jk]
I ran these same settings on bioses 308 (333 strap), 403 (400 strap), and 501 (333 strap) and there all stable. I chose 308 because it gave me about 200MB more read speed because of higher TRFC. I highly recommend 0308.
