Call mushkin and tell them about it. They might have some suggestions on best settings for it with your motherboard.
It's a toll free call.

Since mushkin is probably closed for today maybe look over the stuff here and see if you find any explanation.

I take my initial comment back about the micron pc2100 beating my new mushkin pc3000.
I am now able to boot at 150fsb and running rock stable.
It even solved my warm boot problem where windows would not load at 150fsb whenever I rebooted. I no longer have to wait about 5minutes to let my system's electrical load and heat to dissipate before booting.
Again, I take it back, the pc3000 mushkin IS BETTER than my pc2100 micron.

Did you notice much difference? If so, in waht ways (besides benchmarking)? Just wondering 'cause I have 512 of pc 2100, but I've debated weather or not to upgrade to the pc 2700 since my mb accepts either.

Yes, a very big difference and all of it good.
My system used to locks up after a few hours when at 142 and 147fsb. Doesn't do that anymore.
I'll be adding back my 256mb pc2100 over the weekend and see how my system reacts to it having a pc2100 and pc3000 at the same time.

Nice!! I'm getting a stick of Mushkin PC3000 on Tuesday, gonna couple it with a new KT333 board (either an Epox or MSI).
I don't think it's a good idea to mix the Micron with the Mushkin because I think they use Infineon chips (at least they do with my Rev3+)..but try it and let us know how it works.

micron make their own chips
but if you mix the two the slower ram (pc2100) will limit your overall overclock
