Well, dropping to 6 is certainly the way to find the wall, but have you upped the Vcore and/or NB voltage as well? I highly doubt even a dud P5K would clock so low.

It could be the CPU FSB wall. Mine is at 480 on the x3210. What are others getting w/ your CPU?

Play w/ the NB, FSB, VTT, etc. voltages and see if you can get the FSB higher while keeping your multi at 6.

Agree with others, just dropping multi doesn't prove much. Play with voltages, also read up some guides Clunk's Ocing Guides

Highly unlikely that it is the MB. The P5K's are usually good for 500+ FSB. If anything, I think it is your CPU.

Another thing to check is you Ram setting are you using a divider ? you might be pushing your ram to far . put it on 1:1 and see how that goes

Yea, I boot my P5K BP at 400 regularly and can boot into windows stable at 430fsb. So if its the board, its just a dud.

well i am pretty sure its the mobo being a dud, so i am returning it and switch to gigabyte p35-ds3p. If its not the mobo i will still be happy with the switch as i like gigabyte better.

i have a feeling it wasn't the board, but keep us posted.

have you explored all other options of altering ram dividers/timings, and altering your CPU multi? sometimes it's not even the ram, nor the cpu, nor the mobo's wall, but just a ram divider that the board dislikes.
