First make sure the cpu can run 250fsb with total stability.D this by running the ram async and testing with prime etc.

Once your sure the cpu is ok test the modules indevidually with memtest86 at rated speed voltage and timings, try all the slots and see what works best.If the modules work ok single do to dual and again test with memtest at rated speed, voltage and timings.

Any problems come back to me.

ok, will try that right now, I think my cpu has a problem.. I skipped the prime95 test and went straight to Memtest with 2 sticks. Ran everything at suggested timings and when the 2.6 chip was running at 1.525, it encountered errors in every test. I then raised it up to 1.5625 and it cleared up errors except in test 3.. I thought this cpu can handle 250 at default vcore?

Update: I am running async with 266 for the ram and 250 for the fsb.. Prime 95 failed immediately. I have adjusted the vcore to 1.6 and failed again. I switched the memory to the corsair 3200c2 running at 2.5-4-4-8 at the 266 ratio. same result. lowered fsb down to 248 it ran for 17minutes.. 245 only 27 minutes.. 240 is stable overnight. What should I do at this point?
