12GB @ 1440 9-9-9-24 T2
it is 8-8-8-24 ram but i never changed it since it don't make that much of a difference in day to day use.
Download CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting and post a snip of each tab opened, it should give a clue. There are different iterations of your board.
Thanks for the info. Britton and Dave. It got me started pretty well. I fooled around with the memory overclocks last night and was unsuccessful at getting it stable. That is surely just a lack of experience. I believe I understand the basics, though. My bios has a setting for me to overclock the CPU to 4.2 GHz (handling the appropriate other settings automatically), is stable there and relatively cool. When I OC the CPU, I get an automatic BCLK frequency adjustment to 140 MHz from 133 MHz. The result is that the memory frequency options change in that profile to include 1964 MHz (not sure of the math ), just under what my memory was rated to perform (2000 MHz). What I would like to know is which timings would I need to change for that frequency and what would be your best guess for those timings at that frequency. I don't know if it matters, but I am running matched triple-channel memory. Also, when I set the frequency in the bios for the memory, it gives me the option to allow the board to automatically control voltage based on need, so I don't think I need to set that manually. Thanks.

There's your board spec page. It appears it will support up to DDR2800. You'd need to get some new RAM to boost your score, but it may not increase day-to-day performance.
The LGA775 socket is aged and you might consider upgrading to a new CPU and support.
