It is quite mysterious that the word VIA appears on the chip that works with VIA KT133A and not on the other :-) Have you tried Robert Redelmeier's new program burnMMX2 which has the 3DNow streaming cache bypass load/store instructions that seem to be causing all the trouble? Does it run indefinitely or terminate with the 1133MHz processor configuration? What about for the 1200MHz processor with kernel optimization turned off? --Eric
