What kind of times are you getting when you scale back 1MHz? It's got to be better than the current AMD high, right?
Well I did lots of benching today... and b/c I got so pissed at my 2400+/8k5a3+.... (it decided not to give me multipliers again today) I decided to teach my mobo a lesson and in windows I upped my FSB to 337mhz, and in the process fried the 85ka3+. I am not saddened at all by this loss. The motherboard was asking for it. I then decided since it was fried to try the 2400+ on my KD7 motherboard. The proc, ram, and everything else attached to the 8k5a3+ is fine, _AND_ the multipliers ALL work on the KD7. So apparently the 8k5a3+ doesn't support jack sh*t--at least w/ or w/o the 5th L3 connected.
