Not sure on what bios they use but its in there as setting for Overclock or FSB settings.

There are memory settings in the BIOS. Change them from automatic to unlinked and tweak away. Look arund the forums for the kind of settings other people have used and also check for FSB holes (FSB speeds where the board is unstable but strangely become stable again when pushed higher).

FBS holes are quite commen on the 680s and 650s i beleive? Or more so then the P35s.

Just to answer that, you should have it set to 3-3-3-12 with 2.2V VDimm at DDR2-667 speeds.
