I finally got my system config stable with my last shipment of RAM and SB Live! card. Closed the L1 bridges with a pencil and replaced the stock grease with Arctic Silver under my PAL6035... I haven't had much of a chance to play, but when O/Cing to 9x105=945, Windows will hang just before initializing the soundcard, GUI present. Back to 840 (8x105), no probs. Sound like voltage too low? Last tried 1.75 V, 3.45 Pio I believe...

sounds very much like voltage. Try the thing at 100MHz first though. Then bump the voltage up. Mine is running at 1.725...anything less and it will not boot. You may have to go around 1.8 or so.
