Hi,
I replaced the two sticks of mushkin rev 1.5 I had with 2 sticks of rev 2.0. well without overclocking I wanted to see how high the fsb could go. So I set it to default clock 700 and started bumping up the FSB. With 1.5 I can get to 107 stable without enhanced memory on in the bios, with enhanced memory on, it must stay at 100FSB. So I replaced with 2.0 hoping to get higher FSB but same results, no difference in performance. I do have everything on in bios such as 4way interleave, turbo, cas 2, and host clock +33, for PC133. Of course with both I can boot at 110 and with 2.0 I can boot at 112 but run a couple of programs and it eventually crashes in minute. ANybody have problems like this, or is this just the FSB limit of the Thunderbird, not the memory, the reason I suspect the memory is because of the crashes with enhanced memory on and when I turn it off it gets stable, unfortunately, that options adds a 5-10% difference in mem speed so keeping on is preferred.
