At 186MHz FSB the PCI bus is a little over 37MHz, and AGP is close to
75MHz. that could be the problem. The higher you go with the FSB the
higher the pci/agp buses go til you start using a 6 divider that is normal
for the 200MHz setting. that could be the problem, or it might be your
ram or ram timings, or even your PSU. Or it could be the CPU won't do
2200MHz, but not likely. Most can be pushed up close to 2400MHz with
proper components and settings. But I did say almost all just to cma.
