Re: GA-P35-DS4 + 4gb RAM ?
The IRQ issue was a long shot and I agree that it shouldn't be ram related.
To summarize your ram testing:
1) There are no problems with the original NCP 2x1GB value ram.
2) The Geil 2x2GB Ultra ram has no problems.
3) The Geil 2x2GB Value ram causes BSOD's when both modules are installed.
The verdict, your Geil Value ram is not compatible with your mobo.
Everest has several benchmarks. You didn't specify which test results you were looking at. At your stock settings, running with all memory timings that are optimal you will see a noticeable difference in benchmark scores, but you might not notice very much difference in everyday operation.
You will notice a big difference in system performance if you overclock your system moderately. Your E6750 probably can be overclocked to around 50% maximum. If you limit your overclock to 20 - 30%, the time and effort to perform stability and stress testing will be much less than going for a maximum overclock.
Let us know what you want to do:
a) Maximize your memory at stock settings. We can help you later if you decide to overclock your system.
b) Set up your system for better performance with a moderate overclock.
c) Let it all hang out and go with a maximum overclock.
