I also have Corsair XMS RAM, but two 512 Meg DIMM's running dual-channel.
That memory is supposed to run 2,2,2, so you bumped the TRCD to 3. I tried this,
and while it did allow the memory to OC more, it caused a hit on gaming
performance because 3DMark 2001SE wasn't running faster, even with the CPU
also running faster due to the greater FSB OC. And this benchmark is known
to like high CPU speeds, so that TRCD at 3 was hurting it.
Of course, I wasn't able to run it anywhere near 260 FSB to see what kind
of scores I would get, probably because my Athlon 64 CPU is faster to begin
with and didn't have as much OC headroom as that 3000+ has. So I could
never test to see if it would go that high on the FSB. These stupid multiplier locks
are very annoying.  AMD should get rid of them.
