I have 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX PC3000 ram and I'm running 180 mhz FSB @ 5-2-2-2. This is below the guaranteed speed of 185 mhz. If I set the bus to 185 mhz I get errors in Prime95 and 3Dmark2001 locks up or crashes to the desktop after a couple minutes. I have an EPOX 8RDA motherboard with an XP 2100+ CPU and all voltage settings are at their default. What should I try and do to get my FSB speed higher? Change memory timings or voltage? Thanks for the help.

Try upping the voltage and letting off on those memory timings a bit, you won't notice the difference in speed.
