I bought 2GB of new OCZ Platinum memory from eBay for the HTPC. They are Revision 1 and I had read lots of horror stories about them and Asus boards, so I updated to the newest BIOS first and raised the memory voltage slightly. It didn't POST with tight timings but I had my old memory handy, switched, loosened them and everything is perfect. CPU is currently set at 325MHZ FSB, multiplier at 8, for a 2,6GHZ frequency. Memory is set at 812MHZ with 4-4-4-12 timings, CPU undervolted at 1,2V, memory voltage at 2,0V. It's higher than an E6600 and totally stable, cool at 37c idle and 55c load in TAT because of the low CPU voltage. I'm very happy with it and I'm tempted to also upgrade the Zalman...
I also got a new WD 500GB drive and a DVD-ROM, as the external LaCie ripped DVDs in 25 minutes, and the new one rips in less than 10.
