3. Use only one stick ram, try as many as u can find, till u get the suitable, the fastest ram usualy dont clock well on 4g4a+ (845G), because it causes the agp instability and lockups. Some guy said, that he switched to his old stick of PC2100 and was able to clock it over ddr400, but had no succes with xms corsair 3200, as i recall.
Thats all i think.
BTW. I run fsb160 ddr400 (4:5) p41.6@2.56, Kingmax DDR300 rated )
Well, I gave up. I re-benched my system with my Mushkin DDR366 in the 2nd DIMM slot, and although I get improvements, I still have to use a ver high voltage, and can't reach 150FSB whatsoever. I like this EPoX board, the features are plenty, the price is right, and the PCB has a great color. But in the end, I was a better overclocker, and I have trouble with this board.
I am RMA'ing this board for the Gigabyte 8IEXP, it is a few bucks more, but it does have firewire, and Intel PRO100 NIC. Maybe I will get better overclocking results, maybe I won't, but we'll see. I had luck with the Gigabyte 8SRX, and we'll see how I like the 8IEXP. Congrats to those of you who have had success with the 4G4A.
