i just purchased pc3500 twin 1gig sticks from corsair and my machine wont boot until i put the ratio down to where the RAM sits at 200mhz, my FSB is 250mhz and everything else runs fine. my older pc3200 was clocked in sync at 250mhz for a while and ran ok, although i didn't want to leave it clocked that high for a long time. Is it possible i need to up my Dram voltage in order to get that Pc3500 to clock properly? Or is it just one of those wierd incompatabilties between board and ram. i'm running a dfi lan party board socket 939 athlon 3000+

If your PC3200 was working OK at 250MHz, I don't know why you'd bother upgrading, especially to PC3500? If anything, you should have gone for PC4000.

I've read some reports that DFI boards & Corsair RAM don't always work well together. Try googling it to see what you can come up with.
