I took the settings from BuGjAE and I was able to get my e8400 e0 to 500x8,5
So i want to thank this thread it helped me a lot.
I think my memory is holding me back. Couldn't get it past 1000 in low Fsb with higher Mem Multi nor >500 Fsb 1:1. My memory is G.Skill DIMM Kit 4GB PC2-8000U CL5-5-5-15 (DDR2-1000) (F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ)

any suggestion for a good setting ? >1000 ?
Here a screenie of my 500 fsb on ud3r.

Thanks Xvys for the reply.....I took out one stick and it made no difference, but I did figure out what was causing my system not to boot correctly.....believe it or not, it was my external Seagate USB Drive. The moment I unplugged it, I was able to make a few changes to the bios and OC to 4.00Ghz. I'll have to figure out my problem with the external USB drive, but that can wait for another day (has anyone ever heard of such a problem with a external drive like that?).

I would like to ask a couple of other general Gigabyte and OC questions of anybody willing to answer them.

1. Is it more important to have a higher FSB and a lower multiplier (for example, 8x500 vs 9.5x420 to reach 4Ghz)

2. How is the FSB : DRAM ratio configured? Mine currently says 5:6, but I see many CPU-Z posts showing 1:1. Does it matter?

3. This Gigabyte board has an option to write CMOS to BIOS (which I've not seen before in other MB's).....Is that just different profiles you can create?

Thanks and sorry if these are really newbie questions!
