Thanks,,,,,I thought of this and double checked.....core voltage is 2.2 but
your post has got me thinking. Since I am running as a 300 and now a 266 is
it possible that the core voltage doesn't match the speed. I am not that
familiar with AMD chips and have never played around with clock settings.
You can run any Intel socket seven chip at a lower setting ...a 233 at 200
and the voltage stays the same.....but this is not true of AMD. Is it
possible that because I am temporarily running a 400 as a 266 ..but at a
400 voltage setting ....these lockups are occurring ?
