Here's my problem, my mife bitches.....among other things because here favorite pc game freezes when ever I set the ram speed to 133. It seemed to start after I install a GFD to bump up my processor. To get it to run stable I had to increase the vcore to 1.81 (950 classic Athlon to 1000mhz).
Yeah great, a whoppin 50 mhz. Anyway, I'd just assume lose the 50mhz if I could run my pc133 at pc133. Am I on the right track, or does the vcore voltage have nothing to do with the ram. Here's some spec
Athlon 950(which run's fine at 1.75vcore w/o gfd)
394 mb Crucial pc133 cas 2
currently running cas 3 with no interleave.

VCore only effects the CPU (it is the voltage supplied to the core of the cup, hence the name). Some boards allow you to change the Vio, which is the voltage supplied to the chipset and (i belive) the ram. But if the ram you have is rated PC133, and it will not run at 133mhz, you should track down the person who sold it to you and make them give you ram that does what they said it would!
