Windows XP x64 Edition and 8GB of DDR2...it can be done!

A quick shot and a promise of more to come. Yes, I understand that you all are not impressed with a sultry 8GB of DDR2 running at DDR-800 and 5-5-5 timings. (Unfortunately the Intel 965 chipset will not run less than these timings with all 4 banks populated at maximum supported density. No, Vdimm and Vmch has no effect, this is by design.)

I'm sure there's more to be had, especially since this is using only 1.9v to the memory (spec voltage, hell, spec everything except that I have lowered Tras to 12 so that RAS to CAS + RAS Precharge + 2 is right where it should be).

Anyway, a peek for now...stay tuned for more.
