overclocking oddities

i have been lucky enough to experience the joys of overclocking my nf7-s i've taken it up to 200fsb with my xp-2100. but right now i'm running 333.
i noticed if i run the fsb up the farther away from stock i get the better it benchmarks but i get wierd video performance such as studdering and slightly lower framerates. (it seems to studder whenever the hard drive reads ) windows in general seems to perform slighly slower too. does anyone else have this problem?
this is my first post. (emericanchaos talked me into joining before he went back to college this weekend) so be nice
oh and btw the cpu is running 42c so i know its not temperature
feel free to ask anything

Yeah i have the same problem. At 166fsb its fine. When i try 190fsb games seem to be choppy and i have a lot of hard drive activity. And my system is 100% stable at 190fsb i tested it with prime for hours. For some reason i think this might have to do with ram timing. Not to sure about that.

i don't have any such problems other then open ended games refreshing maps like morrowind ES3 and BF1942.

if it's only during games check to make sure your messaging clients like AIM are shutdown. if you get a message during play it will mess you up. also check to make sure you have the latest drivers from NVIDIA. i have i beleive the 2.7's and i don't realize any terrible issues.

thanks for the tips im going to try them out but is there any other suggestions i could try like maby something someone tried and worked?

yes there has been strange experiences on my end also... except you all i assume have rev2.0's...

yup i have a rev2.0

i have an 1800 and when i set it to 333 windows has issues and wont work. i will reboot and lock upand tell me to boot from cd and repair sometimes the video wont even com up no beep code no nothing weird but it works fine with 266 fsb

probably more to do with my ram than the board itself, but it refused certain bus speeds, like 166 for example... and you can see in my sig i am well over that.

heres an idea what version is your bios mine is revision 2.0 version 16 the manufacturing date is 6-25-03
