Hi glc,
Thanks for the info

. However (isn't there always a 'However'!) I don't have any ATA66 drives at the moment and I only have PCI video cards (apart from the AGP in this thing).

You're correct that the PCI bus speed is held between 30 and 41. However this does not help AGP.

Going to 133 FSB has the AGP at 88. I don't know if it the card that then fails or the RAM.....or BOTH.

What about using a PCI video card (seeing as how the PCI speed CAN'T be pushed beyond its' limit)? Then try going to 133FSB. If it then dies then could I assume that it's the RAM that just ain't up to the job.

However how do I overcome an AGP speed of 88 with the FSB at 133? That speed (88) is WAY too high IMHO. Nothing would run at that speed...?

Please give me some more cud to chew on guys and THANKS......

Yours

Declan (aka fredwest)
