Motherboard Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
CPU Q6600 (Go Stepping)
2 x Samsung M3 78T5663RZ3-CF7 (2 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
ATI RADEON 4850 512mb

I'm trying to get my Q600 stable at 3.4ghz but I'm not sure about how to change the DRAM settings. These are my current settings in the BIOS.

Your RAM voltage maybe too low. Try 1.92v (with 333 FSB you souldnt need it, but in my mobo I use 1.92 from 333 to 400 FSB, and it works OK).
Also, I would not play with advanced settings on the RAM. Leave it auto, if you can (do not know your mobo).
Nothing to do with it, but check if your RAM is capable of 4-4-4-14.
Also, check lat. to 2N.
