Calling all Gigabyte mobo owners: how stable is your system at 2.66 memory ratio?

[adlep]

Any PC 3200 memory stick I bought so far is crapping out on me at 374 Mhz, which is way below the RAM rating.
I have tried everyting, relaxing the memory settings, bumping the voltage to 2.8V, nothing works. I am always getting mem errors when executing the mem testing programs...
The funny thing is that the system is rock stable at the regular 2.0 DDR ratio...
Help?
P.S. Right now I have a black stick of Corsair XMS RAM rated at 3200 at CAS=2 which is crapping out too...

is ur motherboard Dual Channel?
if so, ur CPU is still 533mhz and in SIS655 and Canterwood/Springdale chipsets, ur limited to the bandwidth of ur FSB. In ur case, its 4.2gbs and that means Dual PC2100..the most u can get at rated timings would be DDR333 which is the 5:4 divider. That won't run stable overclocked though.

if ur motherboard's bios supports the new 800mhz fsb don't expect your memory to improve, revert to the last bios that didn't need 800fsb cpus.
i own the 2.66ghz and on my Abit motherboard i could get DDR440 out of my PC3200 but on my Asus P4P800-D my max was DDR300 no matter how hard i tried.

jus my 2 cents, hope it helps
