Update:
Well I got my (2) Corsair PC3500 256Mb units in the mail lastnight and installed them. Without the Vdd mod, I was unable to push my board over 180 reliably. Soo I am in standby mode till I have enough time to install the Vdd mod.
One very interesting stiuation happened though. I testest my system with UT2003 benchmarks before and after the new RAM was installed. With a single Corsair PC3000 512MB unit (CAS2-3-3-7 timmings) I would get a bot match score of ~69FPS @ 1600x1200x32. NOW with the dual Corsair PC3500 256MB units (CAS2-3-3-7 timmings), I get only ~66FPS. The FSB settings, Vcore, multiplier, and other BIOS settings are all the same. WTF!?!?!??!
Will get back in touch after completeling my Vdd mod.
