Version 1.6.1 is up. Totally re-wrote the section on memory which now includes a discussion on both DDR2/DDR3 and formulas you can use to calculate max supported FSB of a given module based on it's DDRX-Y and PCX-Y designations. Also re-ordered the first part of the guide.

man, well done, ive been scimming the net for a guide as well put as this and though i havent been able to use it yet where i am a newb lol, i will read it a couple times over and hope it teaches me alot of useful info, as it already has. thank you for your time.

graysky

@bloodgaze - thanks for the kind words. Judging by your system specs, you should be putting this info into practice! I 9x333 should be no problem for your setup. Depending on the chip, I wouldn't be afraid to push 3.6 GHz either.

What about PLL voltage? My Maximus is set to "auto" but the actual is hovering around 1.8....should i manually override to a lower value?
thanks, awesome guide

@RiTarDid - I dunno what PLL voltage is or what it controls
@1RonMan - thanks, I hope you found it useful.
