I have OCZ DDR3 1600 from new egg, works great, though I am using 3x1 since still on xp 32 bit til windows 7. I would definitely get 1600 over 1333 like GAR said, gives you more options for mem dividers like 8mem x200 for 1600. When i do get wind 7 64 bit, I will likely get 1800 or higher to give me more options.
Intel engineer in docs/video said turbo works with one or two cores loaded, I thought was just one. Tested on my i940 at 22x182, prime load on core 1 only (affinity cores 0/1) runs turbo multi to 23. Loading prime on 2 cores ( 0/1,2/3) multi bounces around 22.5, etc., loading 3 cores (0-5) and 4 cores (0-7) turbo is off and multi 22. When setting multi down one to 21 (turbo is then +2), one core loaded full turbo of 23, 2 loaded anywhere from 21.5 to 22.5 turbo depending on load.
pic w/22.5 multi with cores 1 and 2 (0/1 2/3) loaded with orthos.
