Warning to anyone thinking about this combo : Those three things do not work together by default.
A driver hex edit hack is required, which allows 1440p60 mode to be available (default is 1080p60).
Unless you have VGA capable 1440p monitor, then you are good to go 😀

Is this only a problem with the 750 in xp? I had a hand full of cards that all worked with both 1440p and 1536p in xp out of the box if not by adding it in the nv control panel.

It's HDMI issue, but DP is also limited to HBR1 speed (so 1440p at ~90Hz max.).
Some context : Re: Windows XP at high resolutions with scaling

hmm odd I never had that problem. maybe because I was not using 90hz ?

I have tried to stabilize 4x 2GB at 1066 but it wasn't stable even at 2.3V. Cas latency is 9.375 ns with 5-5-5-15 which is probably too short for 4 modules.

I didn't read the entire thread, but why are you using 4x 2GB mem sticks, and not 2x 4GB? They do exist in DDR2 format.

4GB DDR2 modules are very rare, I didn't find any locally. The motherboard claims to support 16GB memory.
