Guys, I always assumed that the yellow dimms were the best to use, but has anyone tried the red slots. I think I might see if I can resolve my issue with the 2.4B strap not booting over 434FSB by switching slots or booting with one stick and then adding another.

WOW, I decided to do some wire management on my case tonight and while I was in it I did change from the yellow slots to the red slots. Guess what!? I can now boot into windows using the 2.4B strap and 1.34MCH at 470+FSB. On the other board I used if you used the 2/4 DIMM you lost a bit of memory performance, I haven't tested to see if my RAM performance went down any yet.

I gave this a try this morning and it seemed to help my problem but not fix it. In the yellow slots I can boot up to 1.36mch, in the red slots I can boot up to 1.4mch and everest scores seem to be unchanged. Tonight ill try my 8500s in the red slots and see what happens.

Man, after I did that I sat there in my chair laughing at myself for not trying it before. One thing I have always seen people do when they are having RAM issues is try the other slots and if that don't work try booting with one stick. Like you said it helps but does not completely fix the problem. I am just glad I do not have to use ET6 anymore, I really did not like that program.
