Do some processors not like 200FSB or is it another problem?

This setup runs rock solid and has passed many hours of Prime95 and Memtest 86. I think my processor adds proof that not all TBred Bs can do 200FSB or even close. Sorry Shimmishim I wish your arguement was true about this, but it doesnt seem to be. If I wanted to I could successfully run the processor at 180FSBx12@1.725 or but I am more confident with it where it is now and it is much easier to keep quiet. I guess this is an excuse to buy another processor in the next couple of months.

Thanks again,

When I tried going back to 1003 I had boot problems and weird artifacts were showing in the BIOS. It scared me, so I went back. I have not tried BIOS 1005. Bios 1005 is the first BIOS that actually fixes the SATA corruption issue, so I need it. I haven't heard of people having problems with it. Maybe I will try flashing to 1004 just to see.

Thanks,
Brian
