PS CS3 sensitive to overclocking methods

So I have been debugging crashes of my PS CS3 installation on very large photomerge operations (68 images merged to create one image). I discovered that PS didn't like my underclocked Northbridge. After setting the RAM speed and CAS latency lower, I was able to regain stability, albeit at a 100MHz slower.

Well how about that. None of the memory tests out there could crash the system with the old setup. I think it could have something to do with massive HD caching (150GB swap file) that continued uninterrupted for at least 3 hours. Temps on the HD were high (50 degrees), but everything works now.

What peripherals hang off the AMD Northbridge that could be causing problems with the 800MHz NB speed?
 
no comments....hmm, almost fell off the bottom.

I thought this might be of interest for people looking for new and reliable ways to stress-test their overclock settings.
