Pershing, I think I was typing my response before I saw your post about the 9800GT..
First, 800mhz is not the fastest possible (but it is on your mobo)...also it sound like maybe you're having a voltage problem if your RAM is jumping from 200Mhz to 400Mhz...not much you can with that mobo...
Personally, I would get another mobo and overclock the hell out of that processor 😉
I've got the same processor, but 5000+ black edition overclocked from 2.6Ghz to 3.2Ghz....
If you're not looking to spend a pile on your mobo...get a Foxconn A74MX-K...great overclocking ability, and runs like a champ for $49 w/free shipping on newegg.com.
