I cant get my xp2000 to run at 133mhz!!
with my ram @ 333 it will hit 115mhz max.
with my ram @ 266 it will get to about 122mhz.
could i have faulty ram or have i missed something in BIOS?

any info greatly appreciated.

Update your bios to the newest version first. Then go into your bios and set your mulitplyer at 12.5 and your fsb at 133 that should give you 1667 MHZ which is defualt, then you can overclock from their. beer:

Try for just 133. That'll be on the 1/4 divider for PCI/AGP. Settings between 100 and 133 are on the 1/3 divider and are out of spec for PCI and AGP.
 
I just tried @ 133mhz with no joy :(, tried again @133mhz + ram @ 266 (then again @ 200) got a bit further into the boot (nvram check) then froze.
 
I think it might be dodgy ram, so i've ordered some crucial. should be here tomorrow.
anyone else got any ideas in the meantime?
