Well the everest scores are close to what I get normally at the same settings, but I enabled static read control and dram read training and has Ai Clock Twister set to moderate, which is hard to keep stable at that FSB & ram speed, hence the 1.5 vNB. However I used the large system cache OS tweak to get better efficiency out of my SPI32M runs. Eva2000 suggested it to me, so I gave it a go and it dropped my times quite a bit.
That may or may not work, you will have to run the 2GB kit at the rated settings for it and see if the D9 kit will play nice with it. It's certainly not optimal though, and may not work at all. You'll just have to give it a go. You'll also need to increase the vNB to keep it stable as 6GB will put more strain on the MCH than just the 2 x 1GB kit you have been using.
I am very close to getting one to be honest. I own two DDR2 boards, and I really think if I'm going to spend more cash I want a 775 board that is as good as I can get my hands on, and I really want to try the RE, I have had my eye on them for awhile. I would like to try DDR3 too, I've never had the chance to really play with it. I will still keep my M2F & P5Q-Deluxe though, I love DDR2 D9's too much to give them up
EDIT - even though its chrsitmas, I am still havng a lot of trouble justifying the expense of the RE. I haven't bought myself anything yet and I'm trying to convince myself that an RE and a simple 2GB ram kit would be a suitable present.




, im getting tired of trying motherboards.
