GA-EP45-DS3R stable memory settings

[trinhphoto]

I have the following setup:
GA-EP45-DS3R
Intel E8500 @ 3.16 GHz (stock fan)
OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Platinum 4GB Edition Dual Channel (5-5-5-18) x 2 kits (8GB total)
EVGA 9800GT 512MB
Antec TPQ-850 PS
Vista Ultimate 64-bit

I have the BIOS on default memory settings right now and would like to have it optimized to run stable. I might want to overclock in the future.

Thanks,

Kien
