Hmm, A64's are definately quickest when the HTT and memory speed run in sync, but they take nothing like the performance hit that older Athlons took when running the FSB and memory at different speeds.

I have however heard that A64's don't run as efficiently on 0.5 multipliers. You know your chip hits 2.6 nice and stable, but 2.75 is starting to get unstable. Try (and this might be asking a lot from the board) 9*300 giving you 2.7GHz but run the memory on a divider (might be 333MHz or something in the ASUS bios). This would leave your memory at 250 (which might allow you to tighten up the timmings a little). One thing for sure is that A64's *love* tight timmings.

Also try and get that voltage to about 1.55 which is fine for a Winchester

As for which will be quickest? Run superpi and see [img]smile.gif[/img] .
