OK, Here is whatg I have:

9npa+
opteron 146 with XP120
2X1gb OCZ ddr500 ELGEXT

On CPU I can get either 2800(280X10)@1.58v 43c load. with memory 3336@~230mhz
or
2880(320X9)@1.6v 45c load. with memory 3336@~210mhz

I was told that I should get ddr500, but it seems like most ddr400 can go up to 220-230mhz with better timings

It looks like ddr500 down't work for me or something can be done. when I move memory divider up 1 step system won't boot or crashes.

Any suggestions other than selling ddr500 and getting ddr400

thanks

DDR 500s will work at 250 fsb when its a 1:1 ratio. When using dividers its another story.

eg: my G.skill DDR500s will work @ 270 fsb 1:1, but only go to 236 fsb using the 5/6 divider.
