headless said:it was critical for me to get new RAM too...so i got some crucial advice and have the same pc-4000 i think you got. I got the pair of 1GB chips, did you also? If you take a look at my signature you'll see i was able to get the crucial chips running @ 230mhz stable with some mildly loosened timings.
Can you let me know the voltage you have on you CPU and what HSF your using. I have the same RAM and I was able to get my 3000+ Venice to Post and do fine @ 250x9 with the rated 3-4-4-8-1t timings, FSB was also 250 and HT was on 600. And I did this @ the stock 1.4 volts. I even ran benches for a few days with no problems, but then I started to get BSODs. So I bumped the voltage to 1.45 volts and still no go. I'm just not really sure how much I should bump this processor right now with the stock HSF. I have an XP-90 which I just haven't installed yet since I already assembled everything before I ordered it. Thanks.
