You've got a winner there, nicely done!
I can, sorta.
But life with 8 GB isn't nearly as easy as with 4 GB, & i much prefer 8 GB with a lower clock to 4 GB with higher.
I did indeed buy a UD3P for a bit, but i wasn't very happy with it. (This was with my Q9550 & Mushkin 8 GB previously, granted.)
I saw right away how nice it was for clocking w/ 4 GB, but then i put the other two DIMMs in, & it turned into crap.
I couldn't even get it to POST past 467 FSB unless i was using the 266 strap, & while i eventually i thought i got 8.5x471 stable, the exact same setting were unstable the next time i ran stesstesting (they'd passed before).
In general, i found the board to be very inconsistent & flakey for 8 GB use, so i went back to my P5Q-D, where at least i find it consistent.
Here's i'm running 4.275 GHz

It's not really stable though, & i don't like running settings that don't run everything i throw at it.
Also, temps get too high around 4.2 GHz or higher as somehow even my lapped TRUE sucks.
