Hey guys, got 3 questions, sorry for the noobness:

1. Can someone tell me which is the correct fsb strap setting for 1:1?
On auto the dram freq option is ddr2-801. On 400mhz fsbstrap it is ddr2-800.

2. I want to stay at 3.6ghz 1:1fsb/dram, what should I do next? Lower performance level and run memtest and/or prime?

3. Pci-e freq: 101 or 100? Not really sure anymore.

system:
Asus P5Q Pro / E8400 @ 3600MHz
2x2 GB G.skill DDR2-800 5-5-5-15

Hmm,
1. test the memory bandwidth for each setting and choose the better.
2. If you stay at 3.6GHz 1:1 and you choose a lower performance level, then test with memtest, but I'm unsure about this, because the performance level sets the MCH internal latencies, so...
3. The default PCIe frequency is 100 MHz, raise it a little usually for troubleshooting/stability purposes.
Here is some very interesting reading for you. ;)
