Do you have another compatible board? I've heard of BIOS's going currupt from a timing adjustment gone bad (if I remember correctly...). Oh, no wonder it didn't work. Value DDR2 667 timings default to like 5-5-5-15, no wonder 2-3-4-4 didn't work - that's defintely "agressive". I wonder if that would've killed the RAM?
