You can use the settings upto 1.55v and then if you need more than this you'll need to apply the Special Vid. This is just a % of the voltage setting Eg. 104% of 1.55v = ~1.61v

I think it's a good idea to work your way up slowly here. You know your CPU is okay at around [email protected] so it's most likely the ram that's unstable. Start at around 240 FSB and work up from there, checking stability every 10-15Mhz increases. Then you've got a much better idea of what's going wrong and where. Also, the 2.6 vdimm looks a little low. How high is the ram rated to go? Maybe try upping this is it's within specs.
It'll take a little time doing it this way, but in the long run it's almost always quicker than just guessing at a config.

With everything set to stock settings, the ram should run at 200Mhz. The same speed as the FSB. Are you running a divider other than 1:1 or a half CPU multiplier? That's the only way I can think that the Ram speed should be that low.
