I have my 2.6c @ 3.250 on the stock cooler. I have Corairs XMS 4000 250mhz rated ram. I am running 1:1 with a fsb of 1000. How and is it possible to get more out of this rig? The highest I could get is 252 fsb. I know my ram is rated for 250 but this is running in dual channel. What do you guys think? Can I get higher? What should I do?

I think you're doing perfectly well, and shouldn't really expect too much more out of what you have!

You say your RAM limits you, so up VDIMM a bit, than overclock a bit more, I think that if you reach the spot where the CPU won't let you go any further you can increase Vcore to 1.6, maybe 1.625, but you may not get there and have your RAM stop you before that.

I know what everyone's been wondering - 2^33634943-1 IS NOT PRIME. Now, wasn't that worth running <A HREF="http://www.mersenne.com" target="_new">Prime95</A> for a month to know?
