Run the ram at 1T. Tighten timings if your ram is up to it.

sorry to go slightly off topic, but you might be able to get the OC a bit further if you drop the HT multiplyer down one, if you are running into any instabilities that is, nice clock - keep up the good work ^^

and command rate of 1T over 2T will have more effect on DDR2 memory than all the other times (within reason of course) so if you can get it to 1T - even if you slacken the other timings its worth it buddy
