@ Runnel :
Are all those results you're posting the Everest's read test results or something else? I'm asking, because you've only mentioned the benchmark once - just in case ...
I wrote they depend on the multi - try to do the write test as well - as far as I know the write results increase with the multi, but I'm not sure about that. In my case they've increased much more than the read ones while using Merlin's bios, in comparison to the stock bios.
Am I wrong or you were able to run your mem in 2x512MB dual channel using the non-modded bios with CPC On? If you were indeed, than I think you should try out Merlin's CPC On thingy.
As to daily use I run at 11x200 V-core 1.50v, 2x512MB dual channel 2-3-3-11 - higher OCing is just for fun!
Whatever you choose I think you will not notice any serious difference.
@ Naibot :
It's the nForce2 itself, that's holding back your FSB. Dual channel is the first problem and 2x512MB of memory is the second and even more serious one. If you can push your system up to stable FSB235 with 2x512MB in dual channel mode, than you should be glad with it.
Try the CPC Off bios, but don't count on any noticeable performance increase unless you reach much higher FSB :

Mark that elzhi has 2x256MB configuration, so he must have less problems with high FSB speeds.
@ mrapples :
I'm almost sure it's your cpu - try to give him more voltage or simply get a better one.
@ all :
This thread has been really getting more and more interesting
