chip: 1.6A
fsb:150
vcore: 1.62
memory: 2.56


1)flashed the new bios
2) changed high/4:5 to low/3:4 divider
no boot
3) tried low/by spd

boot to windows
DDR clocked at 400 MHz
cpu at 2408 MHz

the low setting had previously been unaccessible.
was running DDR366 before with a fsb 146 to keep voltage down.
upped voltage to hit fsb 150 and DDR400.

i am so stoked. hit memory bandwidth ~2900 in sisoft sandra with integrated video on.
will surely break 3K soon as the new video card comes in.
