Before my recent upgrade from 1.7 cele to a 2.6 my computer was rock solid
no freeze up at all now all of a sudden it would freeze once a day not often
enough to recreate or diagnose just enough to be a pain in the ass. I
changed my Dram timings From optimal to standard and so far so good.
Is this normal Is there any reason why I cant run the ram at full speed.
Anything I should try I have 2 sticks of 256 ddr266 and a 2.6 celeron. I
tried each stick by itself still freezes.Ran memtest everything ok. Will I
notice a performance drop.
nothing noticeable yet its still early

To support the speef of the 2.6 GHz CPU, you had to change timing.
Thus, you changed the FSB timing, and that now is too fast for the RAM
specs.
Why it works at all, is prolly due to spec limit being less than
actual.
Changing the RAS/CAS etc times gets timing closer to what *your* RAM
can do.

Well it just froze again wasn't doing anything just sitting idle overnight
could it be a sleep or standby isse
