Finally! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the ns rating of the ram. Numbers on the chips are...

SAMSUNG 148
K4D263238M-QC50

This is the bulk version sold at newegg. It's listed as 250Mhz mem/core, but I thought the AIW8500's were supposed to be 230/230. Guess I'll find out soon enough...

looks like this.

according to that site, the maximum rated speed for that ram is 200MHz..
Take a look.

AIW R8500DV is clocked at 190/230.
The 128MB AIW R8500 is clocked at 275/275.

190/230 is what Powerstrip is reporting. I bumped it up to 200/250, so far everything is working fine. I did have an error in 3Dmark2001 during one of the last bump mapping tests, not sure if the o/c was a factor though. I'll re-test it later, I'm also going to go get some updated drivers. Any suggestions on those?
