Will be switching to conroe around mid jan.
Choice of mobo is most likely ABIT 975 AW9D-MAX as i probably haven't enough will power to wait around for the Abit AB9 QuadGT .
Have been trying to learn the principals of ocing conroe (getting a 6600) from
Tony's The definitive guide to Intel chipset/memory over clocking Which being an AMD Numbskull was the best at explaning what the NBV Strap was. (had thought it was something u used to hold a fan on until i saw a bios page
and
Navig's Starter's Guide to Overclocking the AW9 series motherboards which actually uses the AW9D-max motherboard . In post #8 Navig says
Has the the 1333Nb Strap been released i know i saw Deanzo get his 4k+ using 440x9. I'm also a bit unclear re the use of the straps my reading of tony's article is that you can utilise the straps to get the memory controller running at a ratio that suited the reltionship you wanted between memory & fsb.
Ie :-
Ram Ratio 400 533 667 800
Strap:-
800 1 1 1/3 1 2/3 2
1,067 3/4 1 5/4 3/2
1,333 3/5 4/5 1 6/5
so basically if i wanted to run memory at 1.5 fsb i'd select 1067 strap & 800 2:3 Dram Spec.

I'd really like 2 know if i've misread things - thanks.

At the current moment I've hit the FSB 370 wall. I'm doing research on this subject, but this is apparently a very common wall on the Intel chipset, chipset wide. It apparently has to do with how the chipset sets the clock speed of the northbridge chip and the PSB1066 strap.You have to either seriously overvolt the nb, or use a memory multiplier, or seriously relax the RAMs timings. Apparently this will be all solved when Abit releases a PSB1333 nb strap. Hopefully soon!

Which intimates that the strap is cpu dependent, if this is the case why not leave it on auto ??-N/B Strap CPU As—is the basic northbridge setting depending upon what type of cpu you have. Since this is an e6600 with a native quad pumped FSB of 1066mhz, I’ve selected PSB1066.
