This is what i like to boot the system with and use it daily...
400x7.5 3.0GHz,
CPU's core voltage is set at below Normal,
Memory multiplier 3.0x 400 = DDR2-1200, 5-5-5-15, Performance Level 5, 2GB of RAM.
Another setting that i plan to use with this board is the CPU's default clock speed (2.50GHz 333x7.5),
Memory multiplier 3.20x 333 = DDR2-1066, 5-5-5-15, PL 5, 4GB of RAM,
All voltage settings at Normal,
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) [Enabled]
CPU EIST Function [Enabled]
Gigabyte's Dynamic Energy Saver is launched.... CPU's core voltage is at around 1.0875 at most of the time.

Standard practice is to grab whatever's available and apply the principles.
