I have a question, but first my system specs. (Yes, I also posted this on motherboard and cpu forums, sorry if you see it twice)

MSI K7 Master (ms-6341) (bios ver 1.1)
Athlon 1333mhz
256MB Micron PC2100 RAM
GeForce3 (MSI)

It is set to stock - 133mhz, 10X mult.

Since flashing BIOS and running VIA 4-in-1, AMD AGP, Detonator 12.60 and DX8.1 I am now able to get through 3DMark2001 at 1333mhz, but I still get a RARE lockup. There is a utility that comes with the motherboard called FuzzyLogic. It showed the following:


Processor=1333
Bus=133
AGP=66.5
PCI=33
CoreVoltage=1.8
VIO=2.63
Memory=100

Is there any concievable way that the memory can be running at a different speed than the FSB? It is Micron PC2100 RAM 256MB, and it is supposed to be rated at 266mhz. Any ideas?

dont like the look of that memory = 100
what options do u have in the bios to change your mem settings?
and what should the voltage be for DDR ram?

This behavior must not continue! Feel the BURNING STARE of my HAMSTER... and change your ways!
