Try running your AMD 233 at 200. I had a box that I had to do that on. I think the reason is that going from 200 to 233 you have to increase the core voltage to the cpu, and in turn, the cpu runs a LOT hotter. I was having major stability problems when running at 233, and it runs solid as a rock when running at 200. On Mon, 10 Apr 2000 18:23:18 +0000, James A.
