[Persnikitty]

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful information, tips and templates, especially Bluestang for his XP ACHI fix. I kinda muffed it the first time, wiped out ntldr and got bad_pool screens in when attempting reformat or recovery. It was a good thing I still had a Win7 RC dvd, since that allowed me to format C painlessly. After the reinstall and final windows update, I made very certain to use Xpress Recovery2 for a primary backup, which has already proven handy.

I got this board after a little over a year of using the slow upgrade path with an Asrock 4CoreDual-Sata2 (Via 880). Once I replaced my 7600GT AGP with a GTS250, all that was left was to change the motherboard (gotta love those quirky Asrock upgrade boards). Got the UD3L last Tuesday (after spending the weekend prior reading every single thread and taking notes) and promptly hit the 370 wall. With some tinkering, and much pouring over five different templates, I was able to sit comfortably at 400.

Below are my settings should they prove useful.

I was able to reach 480 (485 made for a CMOS reset), but the 1:1 memory proved to be mightily unstable, though I'm surprised I even reached that far. 444/888 was do-able, though I kept failing Priority 10 Orthos Blend; just couldn't seem to nail down the proper timings, thanks in large part to the limited divider options for my ram. For the cpu, 3.8 seems to be the top end for me, as anything higher needs a large vcore jump, a bit more than I'm comfortable with on air. After I make another backup, now that all my core programs are installed, I'll probably give it another go.

@sergio: Congrats on the healthy birth. I can already tell he's gonna be one handsome devil.
