I am running a 2.4c @ 260 fsb with 5:4 using mushkin black lvl II pc3500 2 X 256 dual kit. My timings are currently @ 2,2,2,5 on an IC-7 non G. My pat setting are @ auto, auto ,disabled, disabled. I can't seem to get the memeory to run at its rated speed of ddr 217, even @ 2,3,2,6 (i think).Does anyone have a comment on these settings?
 
I would try 2.5,3,3,7 (or perhaps just use the SPD setting) and see what happens. Once you find the limit of your CPU/mobo, then you can try tightening timings. Seems like my IC7 getting better and better with each BIOS update. Consider flashing your BIOS with an update if you haven't already done so. You should be able to get closer to 270 FSB (5:4 ratio) with that RAM.
