I currently have my Celeron II 533A overclocked to 887MHz and its pretty rock solid at that speed. But when I try to go to 902MHz and higher, my system just isn't stable enough. Right now I am using PC100 ram. Does anybody think that going up to PC133ram is going to make any difference in my ability to overclock to higher speeds with better reliability?

Thanks,
Topper

Set Timimg in Bios to Cas 3. Most PC100 will run 112 FSB at either cas 2 or cas 3. What type of ram? read us the numbers off the chips too. Maybe someone can recognize it or read from a data base they've previously printed out. Another possibility is to borrow a stick of ram that somebody knows will run at 112 FSB. BTW try different slots for your ram. Some work better than others. 1st slot (closest to CPU)= best chance.
