I slapped a tbird 1.4(266mhz bus)on a FIC AD-11 and covered it with a volcano-2 hsf and a bit of thermal paste. Filled the DIMM sockets with Crucial PC2100 CL2.5 DDR 256MB + 256MB. Throw in an original Geforce (Elsa Erazor X) in the AGP slot and it POSTs fine. I hooked up the Adaptec SCSI card to Segate Hawk 4.5 gb drive and Plextor 32Wide to install OS and it still POSTs fine.

I can't get Win2000, 98, ME, Linux or anything to install. I get "can't load \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe. The error code is 4". Tried 2 different DDR modules, 3 vid cards, 2 scsi cards, disable "everything" etc. Same result.

After countless hours of web searches and hardware substitutions, I can get the system to function by swapping my chip for a friends Duron 600(6*100). The 1.4 also works fine in the other system (but only at 1050(10.5*100) tht board doesn't do 133(266)mhz bus. Suprise! it works fine in my rig at 1050 as well. I have no access to another DDR rig to test the ram or 133mhz board to test the chip at full speed either. Any suggestions?

TIA
Dan

It's not actually stable even at 1050mhz. Random crashes etc. I tried upping the core voltage but that still is no help.

Default vcore: 1.78v, tried upping it to 1.85v.
