ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[CryptiK]

Just looking at your DDR1200 scores Marcio, and am wondering why my write and copy scores still seem to remain so slow (nice clock too btw). Copy is 1000MB/s off that score, and write is nearly 2000mb/s! I'm on PL7,Stronger, 5-5-5-15-45 at 450x8, and although I can probably tighten up the timings a little more and maybe lower the PL (still testing 7), I don't feel it would be enough to make that much difference, is this because of the difference between 45 & 65nm architecture?
p.s. I'm running the 400MHz strap - is this the cause? There's also 1200MHz available on the 266 strap, but couldn't post last time I tried.

Will request to place a work order for a Rampage extreme or a X48 equivalent today - any recommendations? Will hopefully get a Q9650 (or 9550) to match it too, and am looking at 3 sticks of DDR3 for which I'm open to suggestions too.

Although the board could probably handle PL6 at 450 FSB, it depends on the ram divider. The 266 strap will also require more voltage than the 333 so it might require a bump to post and a further increase to be stable.

I am running a Rampage Extreme currently, and I wouldn't advise you to pair it with a Q9650. From other guys results, you will probably struggle to get anything over ~475 FSB stable with the quad without using a lot of vNB. However if that's all you want out of it it will be fine. The REX is much better paired with a wolfdale if you want a flexible range of usable FSB. If you want the most out of a s775 quad, the UD3P/R really seem to be where its at.

I run Corsair 1866 7-8-7-20 (Two 2GB sticks of the 6GB triple channel kit) Elpida Hyper based ram on the REX. They are good, but if you want to push high MHz with tight timings and plenty of vdimm, a 2 x 1GB Micron D9 GTR/GTS kit is what you want.
