Hello. I have recently gotten a 6VCA and love it aside from one problem I am running into. When using an Iwill SlocketII I can't take the fsb over 133 without getting terrible visual artifacts in Unreal Tournament (D3D). When using an MSI slocket, I can go up to a 140 fsb with no problems, but anything over that I get the very same artifacts. This happens with both a 600E (@ 800+) and a 650 (@ 866+) running each slocket. Changing the voltage has no effect, and the 600 would run on a 142 bus speed using the Iwill slocket just fine in a Gigabyte 6VX-4X. I am using the same video card that I used in the Gigabyte as well, an Asus GeForce. So if anyone is using a a 6VCA with a slocket, will you please post which one you are using and how high a fsb you are running, and if you are experiencing artifacts in UT in D3D as well? Bios version might be helpful as well (I'm running current). I'd really like to narrow down just where the problem lies. Right now I'm thinking it may be a compatibility issue between the 6vca and certain slockets but would like some more input. Thanks.

Oh William, it is amazing how you claimed this Asus card worked flawlessly but the GF2 GTS 64MB I "sold" you was the first time you ever experienced this problems. Hmmm makes you think...
