Needless to say I went back to the x9 multi - but the board has a fsb hole at ~466 x 9 = ~4200Mhz, so I was trying to get around it. However, it seems that my cpu's limit is about 4.18Ghz @ 1.5V and I don't plan on giving it any more juice.

Thanks for the heads up. I was shooting for highest stable FSB (Thinking that it would give me the best performance) so settled on 500fsb X 8.5 with mem at 1:1. Now that I've got that stable I'll have to try out the 9X performance at a lower FSB.
