Hmm, Nforce2 board, that chipset is famous about its crappy memory
compatibility sometimes. Combined with an Abit board, I suspect it is
running at tweaked specs. Also take a look at the capacitors on your
mainboard, the nforce2 chipset is from a time where abit used bad caps
on their mainboards.

In your situation I would force the memory to run at DDR333 instead of
DDR400, which is in sync with the FSB for your CPU. For the rest you
could tune your BIOS settings to use SPD for setting latencies instead
of "user defined" settings.
