There could be two things causing this:
1. RAM can't handle 150MHz FSB... try increasing the RAM voltage a little.
2. CPU needs more power to run at that speed: increase the CPU voltage a little bit.

My PC eats so much money that I'm in 'desperate' need of it to buy PC3500 RAM, help Svol with his OC project!

You have an 800EB. I doubt your board can help you further. But if you can set the memory ratio lower (say, sys/ram of 4:3), you should be able to get that CPU higher. I recommend 1.80v.

hi, i was able to overclock it 900mhz :).but i didn't increase the ram or cpu voltage ,is it ok ? becoz i didn't find in my bios a place for increasing it .. u can just view it the voltage of cpu etc. but there is a dram config its kept on spd i guess i changed it to 143mhz but my pc won't logon to windows ,so i changed to default spd. is it ok if everything stays as it is i mean the ram and cpu voltage ?? the pc is working fine from the time i oveclocked 5 hrs ago .it made good result in the benchmarks i made using performance test 2002 . it have a 40 points increase after overclocking...
thanx anyway guys
