I had my 1600+ running fine and stable @ 142fsb with SPD memory settings, but now with my new AGKGA Y 1800+ I can't manage to break 140fsb, I think my memory is garbage.... I have 2 256mb sticks and a picture link below, I don't even know what kind it is, maybe someone can shed some light before I swap it out for something different....

Memory in question.

After some internet research i've found that this is some Mosel Vitelic memory but I have no specs on it....

Mosel is a good RAM. I doubt its the RAM tht is holding u back. Hv u try 1 stick & c if u could hit higher or perhaps increase the DDR RAM voltage ?

Why dont you set your ram to 100 instead of 133. Then, if it still does not work, you know is not because of your ram.

Come on guys, someone has to be familiar with this ram, apprently it's 7.5ns since the end tag is "75", isn't the o/c pc2100 stuff always 7ns or better?

I noticed now tht u had O/Ced ur VGA card. Try running the VGA card back to default. Then O/C ur FSB again. C if u could achieved higher.

The 7.5ns RAM rated at PC2100 shoud do 150 FSB @ CAS3. Although some ppl had complaint bout Samsung RAM being a poor O/Cer...but I still think tht 150 FSB is achieveable.
