Hi!

I have a p4c800 dlx mobo and a 3Ghz cpu, along with Corsair XMS 3700 (DDR
466).

At first, I cranked it up to 3.7 Ghz, but it was unstable. Finally, I
brought it down to 3.62 ghz which seemed fine. However, things got
complicated when I started to play UT2004. The system started to hang. I
brought it down to 3.5 ghz and everything went back fine after... The thing
is, just for the fun of it, I tried to push it back to 3.6, which was not as
heavy as 3.7. However, the system did not want to boot at all at this
speed!! How come this? It used to boot at 3.7, but now it does not want at
3.6, even at voltage 1.65. Is this normal?

Many thanks!
