Some interesting numbers from me benchmarking AM3 against various memory combos :

240FSB x 10 = 2400mhz (1.5v cpu) 1:1 @ 3.2v, 2-3-2-10 2T = 60100ish

230FSB x 10 = 2300mhz (1.5v cpu) 1:1 @ 3.2v 2-3-3-10 1T = 60100ish

218FSB x 11 = 2398mhz (1.5v cpu) 1:1 @ 2.8v 2-3-2-10 1T = 61200ish

Prime95 has been running 3.5 hours on the last setting, 100% stable so far and the best score by quite a bit. It proves to me at least that the A64 loves tight timings and unless you can run 250 - 260 FSB 1:1 you arent going to gain much over running 220 at 2-3-2. Not exactly an exhaustive study but it helped me decide what way to run my memory :)
