I got a ASUS DVD ROM 12X & it seems to stop working when I set the memory in the BIOS to FAST.

Runs @ 143MHz 286FSB Normal(tRAS @ 6, tRP @ 3, tRCD @ 3)

Fails @ 143MHz 286FSB FAST(tRAS @ 6, tRP @ 2, tRCD @ 3)

I wanna run at at the best performance that the RAM can handle & have all my stuff work. Is this a sign that I have a crappy drive?
 
Probably just that your ram develops errors at that speed. Try dropping the FSB a bit at the FAST setting. It may work at 141, you never know.
 
I tried it at 142 & no go, 141 & no go, 140 still nothing. 143 can run the Torture Test in Prime95 with out any hiccups at fast. Will newer 4in1 drivers help? I'm currently running the 4.31s.
