You'll probably need a better motherboard. If I remember correctly with a quad you'll run into FSB issues on that board as well as the 3 phase power regs on that board just wont cut it well for a quad. Getting to 4G isnt that bad at all. I'd be tickled with that.

You should get a cooler like the TRUE for a chip like that. I was able to run my first Q6600, wich was an early G0 at 1.5875v for 3800mhz on my P5K Deluxe in my sig. That was 475x8, since it didnt like the x9 multi after 415fsb or so.. I would say if you can keep it cool, 1.6-1.65 should be ok if you can cool it. I ran at 1.5875 for the whole winter, about 5 months with no troubles. Your chip should be pretty beastly for a 65nm quad. If you have the Deluxe version of the P5k, I would say its pretty close to bullet proof. My old chip loved volts, the more the merrier heh, its the total opposite of how my current Q6600 is

To me you are right where you should be .
if you had a qx9650 I could see maybe 4.5ish
