Most motherboards let you set the memory bus to either 100 or 133, independent of processor bus speed. I'm running both of my durons with the ram at 133Mhz. While we're on this subject, I did buy a stick of Micron 256MB PC133 about a month or so ago, and it turned out to be bad and in need of replacing; bad ram is what I'd suspect first in any case of serious crashing.
