Thank God i have a 2nd rig based on a IP35 Pro...
User error. You try upping the DRAM volts? It boots up at 1.8-1.9v stock. Most RAM needs 2.0v minimum to boot.

Oh, this is 8x480 on the 266 strap! And how about that PC 6400 hanging in there at 1200 (did 1280 cas 4 at only 2.4 volts )

Edit: Bios 903 of course!

Those numbers look good. Keep going!
