FINALLY got this 1gig stable at 1.4gigs. I did all KINDS of memory tweaks in the BIOS with everything maxed out on CPU and on memory settings. Finally I figured that the enhance chip setting gave probs to me before so I disabled it. I left the fast CPU decode on tho but disabled the enhance chip setting. I always use CounterStrike to test my system stability since it uses such a good amount of memory and stresses 3d much more then 3dmark does. This time I was playing it and usually I get around 3-4 rounds in and my system will freeze, then I hard boot. Welp, when I disabled that setting, I started up CS and viola! My system runs smoothly and stably through 3 map changes. GOOD LORD! I cannot believe that that one little setting designed to speed up the CPU was causing my memory freezing problem in higher then 135fsb's. Just thought I would brag and tell you all of this one little setting and see if this helps anyone else in OC'ing thier system too. Now I am greedy, I'm going for higher. WISH ME LUCK!!
