It is not a timing issue. It is definately due to overheating. I have
bought oversized coolers for my CPU's and have removed the AGPset
heatsink and mounted the old CPU heatsink and cooler on it instead. All
in all a bit noisy but is rock solid. I run two 333's at 480. They can
go above 500 and still be stable, but I like to have some margin ( if
you go to a computer-party for example...man it can get hot with
hundreds of computers in one room !!)...I can play Q3,Q2, Unreal
Tournament, compile kernels... you name it...Never a single crash !! But
it only became stable enough when the AGPset was cooled...
