I had been on a mission to get my rig past 140FSB stable for the last couple of weeks. At first, I thought that I had a bad board or some bad memory (But I never doubted my Northwood
) I was getting constant blue screens saying that it was "dumping memory." I knew that the memory was good since I had my friend test them on his AMD rig at 166FSB. I started looking at other people's setups and how they acheived a 150+FSB and one thing stuck out......the fact that almost nobody I saw had 1GB of memory like I did. So - being willing to try anything at this point - I took out one of my sticks of DDR and to my surprise, I was able to post right into XP and haven't got a blue sceen again! I switched the sticks, thinking that the one I took out maybe had gone bad, but my rig still booted up every time. Could it be that I had too much ram to OC to 150FSB? I had read somewhere that many of the new DDR mobos were made with only 2 or 3 dimm sockets because DDR is less efficient in larger quantities. Is that true? If it is, then, I'm gonna run out find me a 128MB stick of PC3000 ram
