I've encountered an odd issue with my Athlon 64 that has to do with the memory speed.

I ran memtest86+ with my Ballistix at 260mhz 2.5-4-4-10 for 12 hours with 2.6v and not a single error occured. At 2.65v 250mhz 3 errors came up.

However Prime95 fails instantly with my memory voltage anything below 2.7v. I take it to 2.7v and it lasts 1.5 hours. I don't think I can get it to run longer than 2 hours no matter the CPU and mem voltage. HTT is at 3x.

Anyone have experience with this? It seems more mem voltage makes P95 stable but it causes errors in memtest but less mem voltage causes errors in P95 but no errors at all in memtest.
