Also your tRAS at 24 with 7-8-7 timings seems high too, unless this is what your RAM is rated at. try something like 20-22. A LOT of things can affect your gflops, including CPU PLL, memory timings, not enough vcore/vtt. Its pretty crazy, but getting your timings correct will help a lot. I'm not even part of this club yet, but I'm almost stable at 225x17. Once I get that dialed in I'll try for a 230bclk and then up the multiplier on my 3520.

:edit: I just noticed your vtt is only at 1.35v. Try going up to something like 1.45 or higher and rerunning the bench.
I've been trying to be nicer and more supportive... But I see a reply like this and I just *have* to chime in that nobody should listen to this. All of the above info is just flat out _bad_ and _wrong_.

RTL values will be different from board to board, chip to chip, and ram to ram. Unless you have the exact same memory kit, board, and chip from the same time period and bins, these values are not translatable from user to user.

Allow the board to set your RTL automatically, write down the values, and then simply tune them manually increment by increment to see if you can actually tighten them down more.

And anything over 1.35v VTT is _DANGEROUS_ for Gulftown processors.
