Too many people are trying OC without even knowing the basics of the BIOS parameters. Don't you have a manual for your mobo? Didn't Abit or MSI explain these in the manual? If not, how about doing a google search or call your mobo company's customer technical services?

Unless they don't have the manual. Let's not answer / offer help until they read the manual first.

And, I've told you more than once that you cannot oc Intel board. You asked the same question every three weeks. You even got me in trouble with others about the Intel "tool" which I've also said that it is meant for fine tuning.

Besides, those numbers / questions you asked above are normal PC setup and not related to overclocking. Every motherboard manual explains the setting requirements. Since, you haven't read the manual you are using a pair of PC2100 and one PC3200 which is not a good way to spend your money.

mixing memory speeds is not good
you have 512 megs of pc2100 and 512 megs of pc3200...guess what?
you're not gonna get the full speed of the pc3200...you have the equivalent to 1 gig of memory running at the slowest memory installed=266 mhz

and you're not running dual channel either

What does dual mean? You're running 3 sticks of RAM, correct? Therefore you are NOT running dual! And your PC3200 (DDR400) RAM is being wasted cuz it's running at DDR266

You certainly cannot overclock an Intel board. You don't mix different speed ram sticks if it's not the last resort and three sticks won't make it dual channel. That being said, I'll bail you out just because these bad boys have blasted you enough. But you can certainly find answers to most of your questions in the manuals or on internet.

AGP Aperture Size: the portion of RAM assigned for the use of AGP;
PCI Latency Timer: look here http://www.reric.net/linux/pci_latency.html ;
SDRAM Frequency: sets the ratio of CPU (spec) to DRAM (your setting);
SDRAM RAS Act. to Pre. &
SDRAM CAS# Latency &
SDRAM RAS# to CAS# delay &
SDRAM RAS# Precharge, look here
http://www.corsairmicro.com/memory_basics/153707/index.html and here
http://www.corsairmicro.com/main/trg-cas.html .

If you want to OC your computer, you'll have to have an OC'ble board to start with. Intel board is certainly not in this category.

in fact, you can run dual channel with 3 sticks on a board that supports it, as long as you have all 3 sticks of the same speed,same brand would be preferred also.

3 slots....2 slots are channel 1 and the remaining slot is channel 2

256 in each of the channel 1 slots
512 in the remaining 1 slot

[=========256========]channel 1
[=========256========]channel 1
[=========512========]channel 2

i am pretty sure that it works this way

I'm not sure about that. Assume 3 sticks works for dual channel, should the two 256 sticks in bank 1 and bank 2 and the 512 stick in another channel in bank 1? And I'd assume the two 256 sticks work as dual channel and the 512 stick work as single channel. Am I right? Somebody know?

I don't think you can run one pair in dual channel and another pair in single (i.e. having one stick).
The way dual channel works with much wider bandwidth (bottle neck in today's processors) is to double the bandwidth. The 3rd stick will become the slowest.

The same story goes like this;

3 boyscotts as a team travel from point A to point B. They must arrive point B at same time. So, when two of them could run twice as fast as the 3rd, the time the team (3 of them) arrives point B will be the time the slowest takes.
