The problem is that the mother board manufacturers are not handling the
PCI / device / resource memory mapping properly. So, once you start using
4GB you are overlapping device memory area which causes problems. To confirm
this, you can try running every thing at stock with 4GB and see if...
If your board doesn't support any FSB tweak, you can do the BSEL pin mod
(using conductive paint) as described in another thread and other forums.
This should let you run E4300 at 1066 FSB / 2.4 GHz
I have a Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2 motherboard running E4300 2.4 GHz.
Very stable, no other tweaks.
By changing PCI-ex, I could take it to about 300 FSB. I am happy with
266 FSB. I basically replaced by E6600 with E4300 but running at the same speed.
E4300 runs almost 15 deg. cooler. (Idles...
I just saw a new F3 bios available for download for GA-965GM-S2 MicroATX motherboard.
Downloaded and flashed it and saw a new option M.I.T (Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker).
Quick test during lunch break, I could take the FSB to 320 on E6600. Had to bump the
PCI Express Freq. to 118...

It took more than 2 years for the DDR2 prices to come down to earth..
Talking about DDR3 ??? LOL ... wait atleast 2-3 years before DDR3 can hit
the shelves.. And that even only if Intel gets behind DDR3. Otherewise there
won't be enough consumption in the market and the price will stay way...
PD 805 will be more than enough for you..
If you are not over clocking, here is another great MB for you..

2.6 is a pretty good overclock IMO
check the HT ratio and make sure you are not crossing 1000 MHz
When I had the same memory, I have gone all the way upto 250 MHz (DDR-500).
Try this..
this cpu idles at about 32 deg. and full load at about 40 deg.

Got the 805 today.. Removed the current 930 and dropped the 805.
Has been running at 31 deg. C with casual browsing / VPN / office work.
Almost same temps as 930 on stock cooler.
unfortunately no overclocking option in my current Gigabyte MB..
Getting P5LD2-VM day after.. will post results...
