GuNRocK, I bought an AXIA-Y 1.2 266fsb from newegg.com about a three weeks ago for a good price (at the time).

I got a 1.2ghz 266fsb from Monarch Computer Systems...my friend got a AXIA-Y from them...im hoping for the same lol

costs $123 shipped...not a great deal on the surface...but, there's a 3 year warranty, and from what I've exeperienced, they're a reliable reseller :)

Whenever voltage is waaay to low you wont even get a post.
Whenever voltage is too low you will get window general protection errors.
Whenever voltage is low you will run idle fine but your computer will freeze when running at max load.

Keep an eye out for other fail reasons such as RAM, normally related to lots of program crashing at startup. Or cpu overheating causing lockups. One I noticed is random crashing and registry errors, related to underpower.
