I actually had it running stable for a little while on 150/150 MHz but then it froze, especially when running Zone Alarm. My SpeedFan program also started to flake out on me. Any ideas on how I can get it to run stable at 150/150 MHz...when I saw the CPU recognized as an XP1900+, I knew I had to find a way to keep it there stable! My components:

Athlon XP 1600+
ECS K7S5A (version 1.4)
Kingston PC2100 DDR 256 MB
Gainward CardXpert GeForce MX400 64MB
IBM Deskstar 60GXP
Enermax 350 Watt PSU

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe try to make your memory less aggressive ..

NBK19, try less aggressive memory timing options.
Try Safe/3/7T/4T. see if you can boot at 147 or 150fsb.

I agree, and would also add............

Any software such as ZoneAlarm should be uninstalled and reinstalled. I had some issues with ZoneAlarm acting up when I set up a router on a cable modem 2-PC setup. Uninstalled it and the headaches went away. Just now reinstalled it and time will tell. It is a good program, but picky!!
