I have the following hardware: MS-6309 motherboard (Micro Star), P3 coppermine 700, 16mg 3dfk Banshee video, 128mg Mushkin PC133, Maxtor 20g, Floppy/modem/network card/CD&CDR. It doesn?t run at 850 stable, any ideas would be great?

Help me out here guys....

possible causes (i'm guessin here, I don't know this chipset)
FSB=120
AGP 1/1 = 120 MHZ clock...NO WAY
AGP 2/3 = 80 MHZ clock...this could cause problems with the banshee
PCI 1/3 = 40 MHZ clock...in the danger zone for PCI
PCI 1/4 = 30 MHZ clock...fine

Check your multipliers. Keep PCI at 1/4 for testing. Use AGP 2/3 or 1/2 if you have the option.
Once all your bus speeds are in order start uping the voltage to 1.80 or higher for testing, lower later.

Do you post at 133/933? A good percentage of 700s will. (don't know your chipset so don't know if you have AGP 1/2, use this multiplier if you do, I believe 3dfx cards hate high AGP speeds.) Up FSB to 133, use PCI 1/4, AGP 1/2, voltage of 1.85 and give it a shot. your memory should be fine unless you are running it as FSB+33 (153) might cause problems. After all this is said and done, sorry dude but some 700s will not run over 850 or so.

ps PCI=33 mhz, AGP=66 mhz your multipliers should aproximate these as close as possible.
