Capped at only 142fsb

What is the problem why can't i go higher, it does go hgher but unstable.. 142 is the only stable thats highest

What do you have your memory timings set to in your bios? I have 512mb of Crucial pc2100 & if I set all the memory timings to the max I cant get past 148-150mhz fsb.

cas 2.5 ... 2t, 5t, 2t, and 1t command

What makes you somehow believe you are entitled to go above 133FSB? When you overclock you get what you can get, you are not entitled, or guaranteed any level of overclocking, unless you bought the system components form a place that has tested and guarantee's you can. Overclocking depends on all kinds of things, from the voltage supply to the memory speed, and quality to the particular motherboard. Even motherboards of the same type with the excat same components will have different levels of overclockability.

Thinking you are getting shorted because you can't go above 142 is kinda of stupid. It is guaranteed to run at 133, anything above that be happy with...

Same thing here 🙁 but mine at 145 MHz, tried to change the CAS and up the voltage on the memory and still didn't get it, just lived with it for me.

I concur with cular, besides at that fsb your doing okay!!

142, STABLE (see prime95) would be totally fine !

My history:

147 was the total upper limit, i think w/ 146, 147 and above i couldnt even boot.

145 was "semi stable"

144 was reported stable because i could run prime95.exe for hours without a complaint.

However, after 3 months runnning my ram at 144 (of course cas2, interleave4 and everything) it...just BLEW ! I just got a new stick from crucial yesterday !

Since i kinda freaked running at 144 blew my ram...i am now running the new stick at 140 and i am happy with it.

If you get 142....i think that's pretty ok.

If you want MORE.,..then dont even consider Crucial ram (except you do some weird hardcore cooling)...rather get some other/better brand for overclocking purposes.

Know that the theoretically allowed speed for CAS2 usally is 100mhz, for CAS2.5 it's 133 mhz ! And you are running CAS2 at 142 !!! So nothing to complain about..

try putting some better cooling on the chipset, and use some sort of active cooling on your memory (i.e. fans)
