It could be. The Asus board has a ton of settings and some are kind of strange or rather I haven't learned them all. When I got the processor to 2.6 I used an auto setting for memory of rather for the whole overclock. The board has a % overclock setting. Setting it to 30% renders a CPU speed of 2.6 with a mem speed of 433mhz (I think I'm at work at the moment but I can check when i get home). It was either 433 or 418, 420, something in that area. My first attempt at 2.8 I had memory settings set to auto which caused a crash when the Windows XP splash screen appeared. Setting the memory to a manual setting, which I don't recall right now (i think 333) got me to the login screen but crashed when I attempted to login. 2.6 is still fine by me, much faster than the old box. Of course I will continue to experiment when I get more time. Thanks for the comments
