Good going and Congrats! Now if you were to unlink your memory, I bet you could go even higher.

You're CPUz in your first post shows your memory at a 2T command rate. Your memory should be able to run at 1T.

We actually tried 1T and windows booted up to my desktop for about 10 seconds before I got some errors and then the BSOD. So I decided to leave it at 2T and be happy

Yeah, 1T was a no-go, even after bumping up the DDR voltage. But that's okay, a 500MHz bump trumps 1T, and then some.

Hell yeah it does!

And I ran a Memory Benchmark using Everest. While the compared PCs are not OC'd, I was rather surprised that mine benchmarked close to some DDR2s.
Compared to the Computers they had listed, mine was #3 (Reading), #7 (Writing), and #2 (Latency)...

I know the comparison list is limited but I was surprised to be that high up.

DDR2 memory is just now settling into it's stride. I wasn't an early adopter because at first, the fastest DDR2 still wasn't faster than DDR400 with tight timings. The potential was there though and we are now seeing the results in memory bandwidth/performance that DDR2 was made for in the first place. The technology had to mature enough to get the higher Bus speeds and tighter timings to make it better than DDR400.
