Having run my new Buffalo ram for a week burning in with 24/7 folding, I took a shot with some higher FSB speeds.
First I added 1/10v to the AGP,chipset and memory then went to 11x213 (2343 MHz). Ran fine passed memtest, prime, 3dmark and an hour of gaming with nfshp2.
Created a system restore point there and said WTF.......11x218 (2401 MHz) and Voila! Just passed all the same benchies plus a half hour of nfshp2. Will game some more tonite to really shake it out but things are lookiin' pretty sweet.
3d Mark 2k1se = 14,104

I'm gonna run it here for maybe 2 weeks to a month and if all goes well, it's gonna be RAID 0 time !!
:+
Me so happy. I guess burn in time can really help.

very nice, nicer then your 1700 I almost venture to say, what vid card are you using?(for 3dmark ref)

MSI GF4-ti4400 VTD ( their term for VIVO ) 128MB. Card is not OCed and no cheats were used either. Basically it's a silly OCed rig with the vidcard running stock with some version of Det drivers.
note: Drivers are 4403's (?) that's what it says in display settings and I'm running DirectX 8.1 not 9.

This ram is major league kick a$$ and @ $93 shipped per 512 stick fr newegg, it's a steal. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I bought the sticks a week apart too. It benches slightly higher than the twinmos brand I had in here, when set to same clock and FSB. The Buffalo tho is WAY more receptive to higher FSB speeds.
I think my kidz' pair of 256 twinmos sticks are better than the pair I had. They run 210 FSB without any extra voltage and possibly could run up here @ 218. I'm not touchin' anything here tho for a couple days. I'm superstitious.

You too huh?
I think this tends to happen when you are constintly changing the varibles in a highly overclocked enviroment
