Ok I had rma a bad amd 2500+ 333/ bus speed barton core running at 1.83 gz cpu back to newegg and just got a new one in. Untill I got 2500+ I was running with a 2400+ 266/ bus speed running at 2.0 giz I ran all the tests memtest and prime95 every test came back ok but the memory ran at 133 mz thats ok it was running the speed of the cpu. Once I got the new cpu back I was testing it out and it seems that it is doing the same as the old amd 2500+ I first ran a memtest and it came up with 2 errors ok not bad but the memory is about 3 months old. I then ran prime95 it said it the system is unstable so I went into cmos and changed the memory speed down to 80% of the cpu speed which brings it down to 133mz (remember the amd 2400+ that ran fine) well I ran the memtest no problems there and ran prime95 for about an hour or so no problems there either is it just me or is this messed up I would like to use the full speed of the memory but I can't . if you guys can suggest anything it would be helpful I would appreciate it.
Oh almost forgot my temps are when I fold are 43-44c on the cpu and the case temps are 32c
