I am about on the track to get rid of my 2700 Corsair, and go for 3500, the XMS stuff, but before I do, I want to make sure it works with this board, anyone have it, that knows please.
 
Runs great here. Maybe I have a bum 3500C2 but I can only run 2-2-2-5 up to about 440MHz. That is within Corsairs specs but I guess I was hoping for a little more than that. It will do 460MHz's at 2-3-3-7 though.
 
Actually, I just reread the specs on 3500C2 and they say 434@2-3-3-7. So the fact I can run it that high at 2-2-2-5 speaks for itself.

They have those new LL (Low Latency) modules but they top out at 3200 right now. Here is a spec comparison:

3500C2 - 434@2-3-3-7-T1
3200LL - 400@2-2-2-6-T1

I have 3500C2 and can do 440@2-2-2-5-T1 so it is probably still their top module.
 
The motherboard/cpu/ram are fine. I've run Prime95 for 48 hours straight with no problems. I do have one hiccup that I am pretty certain is video. In a 3d game, it will lock up and go to a solid blue screen every once in a while. But even that is only like once every other day.

I have been considering dropping my timings back to 2-3-3-7 and seeing how high I can take the FSB. When I initially stress tested the computer, the RAM was the limiting factor so my FSB is only 165 and im only using the 5:4 memory clock ratio. If i drop the timings back I should be able to do the 4:3 memory ratio and bump my FSB up a little more. With a little luck I'm hoping for a 172-175FSB.
 
How have you got on with the adjustments???

I am looking at getting the P4PE and have a stick of XMS3200 which I will replace......... wondering whether to go XMS3500 or try GEIL??

Cheers
 
What board rev and BIOS are you guys running? I can only get my xms 3500 to 443 memtest86 stable if I use 2.9 volts. And that's with spd timings. BIOS 1003.007 and a rev 1.03 board.
