Grandpa,
You know as soon as you find some ram that will run DDR580+ and tight timings, you'll do the bios hack also!

When I first got my p4c800E I had to set the vcore to 1.75v in the bios to get 1.65v during prime95. Asus probe read this as 1.78v. Not ideal as I'd hate to have it idle that high. After the droop mod I now set it at 1.675v. Under load it reads between 1.664 and 1.696. 1.712 at idle. Its a difficult mod because of the small cap, but if you use small gauge wire a 15 watt soldering iron and tin your leads well all you have to do is heat up the wire and when the solder melts you're done. no need to put the soldering iron on the cap

Well, I hadn't soldered in 15 years and it wasn't too bad. If you have an old board somewhere just practice until you get it right.
