The fujitsu hummed along nicely at 195 mhz. Only problem I had with my system at that speed was using 1/5th PCI divider caused a HUGE memory bandwidth hit. I get much higher memory scores at 166x10.5x1/4 divider, than 194x9x1/5, and that's comparing same memory timing(SLOW). (I can't find my notes from the testing, but it's approximately 2200/1800 vs. 1900/1500 on the newest Sandra-buffered) At 166 I can get aggressive with this Micron, which increases my scores as well obviously(2482/2106), so the lower FSB works better for me anyway. I liked the bragging rights that 195x9, or 200x8.5 etc. gave me for awhile, but overall, my performance wasn't peaking.

Geez, long winded AGAIN. lol Yes, my HDD controller is reliable to 200mhz.

Sorry for straying WAY off topic guys.
