Okay, so ignoring my posts and thread moaning about lackluster RAM bandwith I decided to do a little testing.
First I wanted to see if my HTT bus was in any way holding me back, with a lower CPU multi and a 3x LTD I went to work

365fsb, with a 3x LTD I have a 1095mhz Hypertransport bus.
stock voltage everywhere but on the RAM (set at CPU/18 thou), stock NB cooler (with AS5)
when i got the board for Christmas it was barely stable @ 300fsb with low everything else, now 300fsb seems toally stable and 365 is my new max. Interestingly thou, with a 2x LTD the fsb wouldn't get to 365; seems a 3x LTD is my Neo2's sweet spot.
With my newfound frontside-bus speed i decided to see what my CPU would do. Stock voltage, stock cooler (with AS5)

2.5ghz, last time i tried stock everything like this I crashed at 2.2ghz :p, this time I crashed just shy of 2.6ghz. I'm not sure how stable 2.5ghz is ATM but I'm quite pleased at the apparant burn in results.
