Default Grrr... Dang GF3

Dang it! Just got my new Corair XMS PC3000 CAS2 512Mb DDR piece into my machine and tried to get higher than 148Mhz FSB. I can get it up to 152FSB but at 155FSB then my GF3 craps the whole system out.

Well, the system will post then go into Win98 (dual boot w/ Win2K) and work fine until I reboot; then the video card will not initialize. I have to power down the whole machine, wait 10 seconds and power back up again to get a screen. Have to do this EVERYTIME until I drop the FSB back down to 152FSB.

Almost $200 later and less RAM than before just for a meesly 4Mhz increase..............

Why do the dang GF3 have to be sooo damn sensitive?!?!
