PCI fixed, H/W strap low, mem ratio to 3:4 if the memory can handle it (33% faster than the FSB) or 4:5 (20% faster than FSB) or 1:1, increase FSB with 5MHz steps till you find a sweet spot, if your shooting for some bigger numbers you might wanna increas vcore a little.

hmmm....I hear alot about this H/W strap but I never changed it on my p4pe and it does 185fsb with no problems. Where do you go to change it and what does it do?

I don't really know either what it is, but I think it has something to do with the options you can choose.
My IT7, will cause trouble with H/W not set to low. A friend of mine need to set it to high to get 4:5 mem ratio.

I think there is something similar on the IC7 board to... put then it's 800/533 FSB or something like that...

There's no H/W strap in the P4PE BIOS, it's prolly called something else but doing the same thing. Could it be the 'Turbo' modes for system and RAM?!
