This Q9550 has a locked 8.5 multiplier, so in order to OC I have to jack up the FSB. Well, even at 1:1, you can only to go like 3.4ghz give or take before you max out your ddr2 800 ram. When I get over 400fsb, the system typically does not post. Am I correct in assuming that with adequate cooling, and DDR2-1066 ram, I could take this processor upwards of 3.8Ghz? I just installed the CPU cooler today and put a conservative OC on there with high CPU voltages, and its still only riding in the mid 50s folding. Figure add another .3-.5Ghz and take out .1-.2v and I should still be able to keep it under 65C
What ram should I get for this P5Q-Deluxe?
