Im running a 2.4C m0 on an asus P4C800E dlx with lastest bios
2x 512mb Mushkin 3500 black Lvl 2
P-A-T Auto
CPU spread Spec Disabled
All USB/Legacy/onboard audio disabled

at 290 fsb 3:2, ram is at DDR386mhz, which is below specs
ram timings at 2-2-3-6 and 2.85Vdimm,
but im getting errors in memtest


but at 250fsb 2-2-2-5 5:4 (DDR400), memtest runs fine


does BH5 memory not function properly at high fsb even with a low ratio?

Try 2-2-2-6 or 2-3-2-6. I'm running mine at 293 fsb 5:4 w/ 3.05v. PAT is turbo and MAM enabled.

Up your cpu voltage. If the cpu voltage is to low then it will cause memtest errors

Personally I haven't experienced that. I've always been able to attirbute memtest errors to other causes. But it could be possible, my vcore is at 1.60 in bios. Up the agp voltage to 1.6 or 1.7 for some reason it helps the stability on these boards.

It's more common on AMD boards but it still can happen on the P4 boards....especially when you are at 290FSB+. The vagp on the p4p800 is also the chipset voltage so uping that is like raising the VDD on an nForce2 board

vdd? Not sure I follow. In my bios I have settings for vcore, agp ref voltage and vdimm. Which of those is the equivilant?

vagp is also the VDD (chipset) voltage
