Is that VIA VPSD P4X400?

If so, I'm sorry to say this but you didn't make a good move with buying that board.... I had one here for testing and anything above 150FSB wasn't stable a bit....

Moreover running 150/150 ( FSB/MEM ) was stable, but 150/200 wasn't there at all....

That's a board more for 100MHz FSB rather for the 133MHz.... :rolleyes: :(

No its the VIA P4PB 400 ATX, was wondering if its any good but also if I could o/c it

Hey Apoc...I find it interesting that you and Tod both had problems around 150FSB...sounds like it might be a motherboard problem and your only option for OC'n higher'd prolly be a different motherboard.

But I don't know much about P4's so what good is my opinion ;)

Well n8, say hello to your wife first of all and, what board and processor would you reccomend, i could possibly find a friend to buy mine expensivly hahaha, and buy what you prefer for a screaming computer.... any hints as well like take a low amd and slap that sucker passed 4ghz, without being able to grill a steak on it...

:toast:

Yep, I'm talking about the same board..... forget about 150+FSB...

The board is stable, but don't run it async.... 133/133 was fast, 133/166 was slower, BUT 133/200 was really f*cking BAD!

What, Apoc...your current rig not fast enough for MTM2? lol :)
