 Looks like I got a stinker REX, and pretty much useless since any boints to be had with e8600 are over 6ghz.

 What strap, divider and PL were you running? On 775 I always started on like PL10-12 and sorted everything else out first. Then tightened it up. My old board hated certain memory dividers too. IIRC, all I could run at high fsb was the 333/5:8.......... I think thats the divider. It was the next to highest memory mhz in bios on the 333 strap. Yours may hate all of the 333 and love 266 strap. Try it out.
