0703 allows 4x1gig sticks and 1333fsb cpu's but limits the OCing potential with a 7x multi chip.
Im going to flash back to 0401 i think although 0608 was ok for me.
Apparently changing the multiplyer dont work with that one.
It does work ? That was another version I think - 0505 perhaps ?
Flashed from 0703 to 0401 using EZ Flash2 and went fine, didnt even need to reset the CMOS, just running Orthos and once thats ok for a couple of hours i'l stick it back to 3.4ghz.
If you need to get your FSB above 1700 then use 0608 or 0401
If you need 4x1gb and/or1333fsb support then use 0703.

I am using 0608 and I cant get above 1700fsb, is 0703 even worse?
Sorry, meant 1700 max on 0703 wereas i could get 1950 on 0608.
im using 0401 at the mo so will see what that will get me.
0608 works fine here with 4 x 1GB, apart from the memory hole between about 723 and 838. Can't run at 800 so I run at 711. Does 0703 solve that I wonder....
Ive been reading a few posts on the Asus forum and the 0703 Bios has cleared up many issues when running 4x1gig modules, maybe your brand was ok anyway.
Im going to see what FSB 0401 gives me and if its no better/worse than 0608 then nothing lost.
I take it your Ram wont run faster than 838.
It is the Geil which is rated at 4-4-4-12 at 800.
It will easily go 900+ at more relaxed timings 5-5-5-15 - but it didn't make any difference in performance, so I just left it where it was
I tried 854 I think it was, still at 4-4-4-12 but got a memtest error at 2.0875v. Don't want to increase the volts becuse the next step is quite a big jump
You may have hit a memory hole as ive gone from the low 1700's to currently stressing at 1850. Try dropping your divider to 7 and have a go in the low 1700's.
To TUVOC, tight latencies dont seem to give C2D system a boost anyway. I run my Geil at 5 5 5 15 and its no different in super pi than anything lower.
I'm confused, in Vista I can do 8 hours + stable at 3.4Ghz, 850Mhz ram, 1.47V, I can also do 3DM06 over again with no errors, but in XP, I crash in 3DM06 at 3.4Ghz, also on the desktop too, and with my 850/1020Mhz 2900XT overclock, that is fine in Vista, but unstable in XP :s.
Who'd have thought that, Vista more stable than XP
Turned out XP was totalled for some reason
, so I isntalled it on my SATA hdd instead of the 160gb IDE and all was fine 
, managed to achivea new 3DMark06 score with my overclock at last.

got this mobo, just bought a Q6600 2.4Ghz and i am hoping to OC to 3.4Ghz.... is this possible?
Whats best things to change in the bios and what should i set them to? ie. Voltage? multiplier? FSB? to get 3.4Ghz... i believe the multiplier is *9 so change the fsb....???
Im on the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler.... so i think i have enough cooling.
Cheers

Worth trying though, I simply removed my chipset cooler, refitted it with as5 and popped a nice blowy fan on top, then maxed out the chipset voltage and I can now get stable at much higher bus speed.
If yours is a GO stepping you stand a good chance with the right cooling.

so basically go into Bios.... and which menus etc? to get 3.0Ghz? i know to change the FSB, but where do i change it?
Use the 0401 bios as this is by far the best OCing Bios, you need 1.7V on the NB to get a decent clock and the HS needs to be actively cooled. have a search through this thread and you will find some very in deapth bios settings.
