Help: Ballistix won't run at rated speed

vcore: 1.432v post-droop
9x multi, 1423mhz FSB
vdimm: 2.2v
chipset: 1.5v (also tried 1.4v before)
FSB: 1.5v (also tried 1.4v before)
Before I raised voltage to chipset/fSB from 1.4v, i would not get past the initial boot screen (comp either freezes before it displays cpu/mem speed, or shortly thereafter).
After I raised to 1.5v as above, comp will reboot while the black windows xp screen is loading.
ALso in CPU-Z timings table shows that the "Maximum Bandwidth" is PC2-6400. Shouldn't it be PC2-1000 even when i'm only running it at 800mhz?

1 additional note: Orthos memory test fails in literally 2 seconds even as I'm underclocked in the memory department.
This is rather disappointing....
Edit: Also, my superpi is actually almost 0.75s SLOWER with my new RAM. I don't want to dismiss my RAM as defective since besides orthos and everything else it's running okay.... but this is a letdown.

I apologize for the repeated posting, just trying to keep a log.
I successfully booted with an 8x multiplier with 1500FSB and 1000-DDR2. CPU-Z is still showing my RAM as PC2-6400... Do I not have the latest software or something? I only downloaded it a few weeks ago. It's ver 1.38.
Edit: Starting to think lack of voltage to CPU. Screenie @ http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1127603 shows a similar reading on CPU-Z so I'm not worried about that anymore. I successfully loaded windows at ddr2-1000 speeds at a higher voltage, although CPU-Z won't read it accurately (showing a constant 1.213v, but set to 1.5 in BIOS, probably around 1.475 after droop)

Im surprised, mine booted last night and ran 36mark06 at ddr2-1125 with my windows open. Maybe try going back to a stock clock for the cpu?

Mine REFUSES to run at 1T command cycle. All things equal, I'm booting into windows fine. under 2T, comp keeps rebooting at black winxp load screen. I upped voltage from 2.2 to 2.3v, and next time I rebooted all the characters on the initial boot screen came out in bits all over the screen.
Can I ask what your settings are, such as timing, voltage to CPU, FSB, memory, and chipset, what your overclock is?

I have the same question. The ram im running at says the max is 6400 even though im running them at 1067 with stock voltages.

Give me 5 mins and I'll pull up that 3dmark run at 1125.

K, heres my 3dmark06 run.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=846624
It doesnt show your memory speed but take my word it was on a 2:3 ratio running ddr2-1125 @ 5-5-5-15 @2.25v, not sure if this is orthos stable but it was stable enough for a 3dmark 06 run.
However last night I ran orthos for 8 hours on this overclock. 360fsb, 3240MHz, memory running at a 4:5 ratio @ ddr2-900 @ 4-4-4-12 with a vcore somewhere between 1.28-1.29
My current OC as I'm typing this, not proven stable, is 378fsb, 3402Mhz with a vdrooped vcore of 1.272 with memory running 1:1 @ 3-3-3-9 with 2.25 volts
