I'll let you know about my progress with the 3001 revision and my e8600. See my prior few postings in the previous page for more details. The 2901 will work, but you'll need to fuss with a faulty Vcore, and not be able to reach OC max.

Do a google search for your E8400 FSB results. I am pretty sure you'll need to up the MCH and ICH and whatever the third one is in order to get above 415FSB, as leaving those setting on stock did not work for me with FSB speeds above that. I haven't been able to fine tune everything b/c my max Vcore was limited to 1.26v, limiting the max stable OC to 4.2ghz (420 FSB on the 10x multipler E8600).
