Still limited to 350Mhz fsb. Think I know why though. Someone told me that the ASUS Maximus Formula has the same problem, as does the P5E. Apparently its a limited imposed by X38 boards when running low memory dividers which allow DDR2-800 ram to be used at high fsb speeds. Using DDR2-1066 or DDR2-1200 ram at higher dividers releases the limiter.

Edit: this occurs on X38s at 4:5 or lower (currently trying to use 1:1 and failing)
