I have the same RAM, board, cpu, the only difference is I have 9600gt. Not sure what would be causing your KPs. Have you read the output when the kernel does panic? Sometimes it can be helpful.
Another thought would be disable your speedstep changes. I have not implemented speedstepping on my build. I prefer aggressive sleep schedule (5 minutes) to save power.
That's the weird thing....there is no log. There is no "Mac OS X unexpectedly crashed" dialog that comes up when I reboot (or does this not exist in 10.6? I've only used up to 10.5 on a real Mac). I've checked all the logs in Console for events around the crash and there doesn't to be anything relevant. An Apple KB article (
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546) says there should be a log file in /Library/Logs/PanicReporter but the PanicReporter folder doesn't exist in the root Library (I checked the user's local Library and nothing there either).
Yeah I might not need the SpeedStep advantage because I have mine sleep in 15 minutes (monitor off in 3). I had some problems with just the sleep-enabled DSDT, but the only one I can be sure of was when I woke it up with the mouse or keyboard, it caused an instant KP. However, it was because I had the keyboard and mouse plugged into a USB 1.1 hub plugged in the front (I was in transition). If I plugged either one in directly (still in the front ports), that device could wake it up and not crash. I can't remember if I had any other issues, but I'm going to switch back to that DSDT tonight and see what happens
