AGP vs. FSB Problems!!

[Koyanisquasi]

I have a Soyo SY-6BA+100, pIII 667, 256mb pc100, v5500 agp, 4 ata66 hd's (6,6,8,15). I have had numerous problems with this setup. First one would be the FSB vs. AGP. At 133FSB, the only choice on the Soyo for AGP is auto(88), 88, or 133. /1 and /1.5 or something. Everything runs fine at this speed, but when I run any game, guaranteed a crash within 2-5 minutes. If I put in my old v2, I can run all night. The only clues from readme's and soyo is to upgrade the ram to stablize the overclocked agp slot. Im eyein the Mushkin pc133 rev2. This can run at 2-2-2, and the 133 speed should help keep things stable.
Has anyone else had problems with 133FSB and the BX chipset limiting the AGP ratio? Ive also tried booting up as a 500 (100fsb 66agp), but it never makes it. Are the 133 cpu's locked in at 133mhz or higher? Has anyone had problems with the v5500 and oc'n?
HELP!!

I think the problem is that your V5 might not like the 88MHz AGP. This makes sense since it occures frequently with games. The V2 wouldn't be affected since it's a PCI card and the PCI bus is at it's proper frequency.

IIRC the V5 is a fairly reliable card at faster AGP speeds, perhaps you got a poor one?


It is odd that you can't boot at 100MHz FSB, though

I did have things all messed up. I redid everything, flashed the bios, and am runnin at 500. Seems pretty stable now. Ive read that the v5500 is cool at 88, but the ram is always pc133 in those tests, so I gotta go rob the old lady down the block fer some cash...
Thanks

Dont worry, that old lady sold me the voodoo and 'other' items which she knows I could mention.
