I own a MSI Kt3 Ultra3 motherboard and 512 2700 memory. I have a Athlon XP 1800+ overclocked to 150 x 11.5. When I try to go up to 155 x 11.5 the graphics start crapping out when im booting XP and errors keep poppin up. So i raised the voltage to the CPU and Memory and the errors are still there. Is this the extent of the motherboards OC'ing??? Oh yea I put the memory on most conservative timings while trying this also.

Is it a Palamino you have? If so you won't be able to get the FSB higher than 150. I run a Palamino 1800 on a MSI KT3 Ulta ARU. 150 FSB is the fastest it will go!

It could be that your graphiccard can't handle the increased AGP speed as increasing the FSB means increasing the AGP to. Your AGP is normally 1/2 of 133 MHz which is 66 MHz... with 155 MHz FSB this will be 78 MHz. So may I aks which card you have?

My CPU fan spins so fast that it creates a wormhole :eek:

Its a GeForce 2 GTS w/ 32 megs of ram. I dont know if its a palamino or not.... *Edit* Its model 8 according to WCPUID which means is a TbredB.... Is it just the agp bus is too high? If so is there a way to make it stable again? THanks

thats one of the problems with the KT3 motherboards (i've got one too, welcome to the club) - you can't adjust the AGP PCI bus mastering... you might want to try raising the AGP voltage though
