1.850 voltage got 100x13 but locked up after 5min
What is the best ddr board with raid or without for overclocking?

personally i love my Epox 8KTA3. KT133A chipset and i have run it at 155fsb. Wasnt all that stable in games but it ran windows fine. Could been the ram though. I think nexus has had good luck with shuttle board. check in the amd forum.

Just on a note i don't believe AMD makes a specific CPU made for DDR... Both the 200 and 266 version of the chip will run on either SDR or DDR motherboards. If that chip is locking up at 1300 you probably won't get any higher out of it... I'm willing to bet its teh BVHA stepping or something like that... If it is your stuck with what you can get out of it as that stepping isn't a good overclocker... I had a 1.2 and all i could get out of it stable was 1300. To me it sounds like you have the 200 FSB chip... Your probalby having problems with the FSB on it more than anything... I don't have time to explain why but anyone around here that has owned a 1.2/200 will know what i'm talking about... If you board has a jumper for 100/133 FSB u probably won't get it to run at 133 FSB.

yeah those 1.2's weren't much huh Bryan

the only reason i was thinking it was a 266 is because he stated in the intial post about it crapping out at 9.5. i still dont think he's told us yet

i concur with predator, i wouldnt expect much even with a new board but even still, you be one step closer to a grade A system. i think most of the guys here would agree that it's better to spend a little extra on a really good mobo than it is to try and get the fastest chip out there. The mobo is the heart of the system. A quirky board will kill a good time. I would start with a new board and if that doesnt get you were you want to go then get a chip.
