I'm not sure this is your problem but your memory (or the configuration thereof) looks flakier than 6 kinds of unholy hell. 130mhz? Thats not even a proper memory divisor, but probably possible. So you're saying you're running 260 DDR? What is that, PC2085? Am I missing something? If you have PC3200 it should be 200. (2x200 = 400 DDR) Have you set custom memory timings?
Again, I'm not sure this is your problem, but definitely something to look into. Your motherboard is pretty seriously low end so you might be limited by that ALI chipset... oh yeah you've got one of the early ASROCKs -- i read something recently about that brand being manufactured in the same place as a bunch of those PCCHIPS disasters (perhaps yours is one rebadged?). Maybe look on the board to see if some of the chips are colored on with crayon, or perhaps the heatsinks are made of some type of edible rice compound? :twisted:
Seriously though except for the memory issue everything appears to be in order. I'll post again later with some more questions and ideas, but for now, see if you can clear up the memory thing or maybe explain what I've missed.
Edit: On doing the math for the memory frequency I notice that the math works but the setting seems wrong. Is that setting actually FSB for you? CPU/17 (2.2ghz / 17 = 1.294 or something) would make sense but I can't remember what the default FSB is for those older single core 64s (plus you gotta remember the CPU bus and the system bus run at different speeds) -- Ach, I'm too used to the simplicity of life with a Q6600.
