I have an old stick of PC66 (don't recognize the manufature, but the chips are difinatly Micron) I currently have it running at 83Mhz (a 25% increase). Do you think this will remain stable? and if so is there a way to stress test it? If not I may just go buy some PC133, it's so cheap now and I know it'll run at 83.

Well, just personally, I have a 64mb stick of generic PC66 that I run at 100mhz FSB no problem. I would suggest running Prime95 self test to check for errors though.

any descent stick of PC66 will run reliably @ 83mhz, but 100Mhz is definitely a stretch, maybee that micron can handle it but i wouldnt bet on it. i used to get some crucial PC66 to run at up to 112mhz(K62 - 5.5x112 - 616Mhz) but it was not 100%, not quite.
