OC'ing is never a risk if it's done properly, YMMV. I'm using
very old pc100 (8ns, Mosel Vitelic) at cas2 135mhz as I type, mixed
in with 2 other sticks of Micron 7.5ns ram (512 total). The old pc100
is runnin 35% higher than sold as, -o- errors, has for years. Mobo
has more to do with ram performance and stabiltiy, as long as it's
good quality ram to start with.
Most memory problems are solved by re-seating the ram, tryin
different slots, changing the order of the sticks, or all the above.
'Course this assumes decent ram and motherboard. For instance, the
pc100 I mentioned above won't run memtest86 overnite at 100mhz cas3
(less than it's rated) on a PCCHIPS, or Dell spec board mobo, but
will run memtest86 with no errors at 155mhz cas3 on a Soyo with a
good power supply. On a Aopen board it's good for 133mhz cas3 with
the same quality PS.
BTW, the only memory problems I have Yura, are between my ears ;>
