Strange Abit SE-6 Problem

[Guest]

Here's my system specs:
Celeron 667 that will run at 920
Thermaltake Chrome Orb
SE6 - Version 2.0 with Softmenu III
128mb PC100 Micron Ram cas2
10 mb Realtek 8129 NIC
10/100 Realtek 8139B NIC
Using onboard sound and video

Here's the problem:
I can OC the chip to 900 at 1.80V but only using the divider 2:3:1. I want
sound but, the onboard sound will not work over 75MHz FSB (37.5 PCI). If I
tried to set it to 3:3:1, the system won't post. After a month of running
the system at 750 to have sound, I got pissed and set the chip at 970 at
1.90V and 3:3:1. The system finally booted at 960? and I had sound (PCI ~
32) until it crashed. The processor couldn't take the voltage and wouldn't
post unless I reset the Softmenu by turning off the power supply to get the
defaults back.

Finally, I found that if I do the above (970 at 1.90v and 3:3:1) and then
during post I set the chip to 900 at 1.80 using 3:3:1 everything will run
fine at PCI of 30. I got greedy and tried to up the chip to 930 and the
system crashed. Reset by turning off the power supply and 3:3:1 wouldn't
work again until I booted at 970 and 1.90V (same procedure as above).

Any ideas?

This looks like a BIOS problem to me.

It's probably that your PCI bus is jumping down to a lower divider when you boot at 970. My suggestion? If you want to stick with celery then get the 600 and oc to 900, giving you the divider you need every time. I'll buy your used 667 for half of what it's worth, or you can sell it to someone else, or, if you are good at dealing, you can upgrade someone to the 667 at full price (free labor) and use the money to buy a 600, leaving you with their old processor for free, and whatever speed that one is I will buy it from you for half of what it's worth. ;o)
