Would you consider this a motherboard problem?

I have a 2.8C m0 revision coupled with 2x512 PQI Turbo PC3200 2225 (TCCD). It's all on an IC7-Max2 Advance motherboard and I cannot get it stable past 245-260ish. It's fully stable in the 240's but after that it'll crash after a while at 260. I ran memtest for 27 passes at 260fsb and not one error. This was in slot 2 and 4. In slot 1 and 3 it got plenty of errors at 260.

Timings were at 2.5-4-4-8, voltage on memory was 2.7 and cpu was 1.575. I'm boggled by this problem, this memory/cpu combination should be an overclockers dream but something is holding it way back.
 
Check the powersupply rails. The Ultra-X is a pretty crappy quality PSU.
 
Probably :/. I usually get the crash on a hefty cpu load. I know they're crappy builds now, but I heard they were pretty good when they first came out, which is when I bought it. I'll have to stick with it until I get some money and then I'm getting the PC P&C.
