Here is my suspicion: you cooked your chip. Looking at your sig, it shows that your chip was run at 1.8V, and you are running an "L" series TBredB. I have personally watched these things die at lower voltages, and I suspect that you may be slowly frying your chip as well. I have lost one of these at as low as 1.65V. This could be the reason that each time you test it it won't do as much as previously. The only thing to do would be to swap in a different CPU to see if it is the RAM that is fuggering you up. If you can run the RAM at 200+ (try at like an 8 mult or something), then it is almost certainly your chip that is giving you issues. Your NB would be suspect if you were having FSB limitations, but since you are running at high FSB and your RAM doesn't seem to mind too much, I would suspect that you may have got a bum chip.

Be forewarned: I have lost three of these things now! Do not under any circumstances run them over 1.725V, and even that is pushing it. I have gone so far as to pick up a spare to sit around in case I lose another one due to stupidity. Try using that particular chip to do the FSB testing, and then you should have a better idea of what is holding you back.
