OC & Modding Overclocking 3600+ X2 Windsor on DFi 790FX DK M2RS

hey guys

Need your help from any experts out here.

heres my config

3600 windsor proccy (90nm,256X2 L2) thermalright ultima 90

DFI 790FX M2RS

4 x 1 GB transcend jetram ddr2 800 JM800QLJ-1G,5-5-5-18-23-1.8v

corsair 620 HX
if i just go bumping up the FSB i get to

240 before system becomes unstable

2.4Ghz x2

HT=1200MHZ x2

at 1.37 volts .

memory>= 480 MHZ x2(4 x 1 GB transcend jetram ddr2 800 JM800QLJ-1G,5-5-5-18-23-1.8v)

At the above speeds the system runs stable 24x7
Recently i wanted to see what how much could i push the FSB

and i made it to 300 ,downed the multiplier to 8 and to my surprise it booted fine .

so this time

300x10x8=2.4 ghz

HT at 1500 MHz:S (read in some forums that athlon x2 runs stable at HT speeds betweek 1200 and 1400 .is it true ?)
And memory somewhere around 496 mhz

I could bump the FSB even till 310 :hap2: .

Now when i try to raise the multiplier to 8.5 the system will not POST

So i try to bring down my memory frequency to 667MHZ in bios

but still the system would not post.Tried 533 MHZ -no post ,400MHZ no post ( even tried setting mem timings manually bumped up the memory voltage to 2.2 weak drivers mode etc etc ) still the system refuses to post .
did a bit of research on the net found out someone got to 1050 MHZ

after setting timings to 5-6-6-16-25 at 2.2 volts .

tried the same timings system still does not boot at 300 fsb with multiplier 8.5 or 9.

so what do you guys think memory is the weak link or am i missing something here ?

if it is do you guys have any suggestions of any good overclocking freindly memory (2x2gb kits)?

thnx in advance for any help:)
