On one hand, it ran fine with up to 500MHz (2000MHz) FSB with few changes other than Vcore and Vfsb being bumped to 1.45V and 1.4V respectively, as long as the DDR3 timings were left at "Auto" and no attempt was made to exceed about 1600MHz memory speed with pretty sad auto timings. On the other hand, the memory performance of the P45 chipset - as my other P45 reviews showed - is sub-standard compared to the X38 and even P35 chipsets.
