ok i recently installed the beta bios 1005.21. Everything is fine i now have access to the agp/pci lock that ive been longing for. anyway the problem is this. the lock works like a charm. I have my 3500+ at close to 2.5 ghz, i plan on going all the way to 2.5 ghz (228x11) as soon as i get this problem resolved.

the problem is this. I am currently clocked at 226x11. my processor is idle at 28 degrees. via system in windows/and cpu z. which i think is damn low. I upped my voltage to 1.55. but the problem is with my memory for example. Even though im at 226 fsb, my memory via cpu Z is saying its only clocked at 113 mhz. it should be 226 correct? i set it to auto and i got 177 mhz. then i set it to 1:1(im assuming as fsb goes up mem goes up equally?) and i get 113. now doing some math 113x2 =226 so maybe im doing this wrong but when on auto i would have thought it would have done 452. but its not. and i dont be lieve there is an option for 1:2. its corsair 2-2-2-5 ddr 3200 mem. i laxed the timings to 2-3-3-6 and i believe i should be able to overclock to where i am any idea's?
 
please ignore the last post. there was a 2:1 option and changing that set everything to where it needs to be !!!!! this is my baby, still got tons of headroom. going to 2.5 now 8)
