Hey Guys,

Got my chip from krex a while ago, in my Bro's basement and loving his dsl line.. SWEET...

Anyways, got my system together early with old parts from my old system, have now

Abit Vp6
p3700E @ 875mhz 125fsb
64mb generic pc-100 ram
Maxtor 5.4 gig hard drive (well 4.8 bad sectors)
Aopen Nic card.
V3/3k grafix
sound blaster 16 bit PCI
old 40x cd-rom
old greeny p233 heat sink with salvaged fan running at 33*C as I write this.

Wondering why I cant get 133fsb, I have a stick of 133 I can borrow but that didnt help any, I notice at the higher speeds that my v3/3k card starts to lose its shine.

Really need a couple 40 giger 7200rpm ata 100 hard drives and a clean instal of winME

on old win98 system, best I can do till my new job starts, and I can buy hard drives, oxygen grafix card, stero eye glasses, dvd player, cd-burner, sound card, ect,ect.

wondering if there is anything simple that I am over looking at this point?

Yes, I've lapped my heat sink, using cheap raido shack thermal paste for now, and seriously thinking of going to water/peliter after my funds pick up.

oh yeah, I'm running a few degrees cooler at 1.65 v in the bios, but via hwm says i'm at 1.70... then again all my voltages are off a lil bit, wonder if I have a crapy powersupply...

Laters,

ok.. two things that i can think of from the start,

Are you using that same PC100 64meger RAM? Some PC100 RAM is just awesome in OC but some don't.. Have you tried other stick of RAM? some descent RAM?

How old is your P3 chip? What stepping is it?


Your voodoo should really have no problem running at 133mhz bus. Is it AGP or PCI?

Yeah like I said, tryed both 64mb pc100, and a stick of my bro's 128 pc133 all generic stuff till I can get my hands on some crucial 256mb sticks.

and Its a '00 p3, cCo, 1.7v

running at 24-5*c now, just turned her on, no duke nukem lan match just yet...
