Memmory or pcibus overclocking ate fat table!

[Technoid]

In the good old days (Before MMX!)
I had a clock locked P133!
It ran quite well at 2*75=150MHz
But when i turned bus frekvency upp to 83 my HDD went suicidal and ate the FAT table!
My question is:
Was it because of to high memmory sped or pci speed?
(Mobo: Intel TX chip.
Memmory: tested first FPM then EDO and Last SDRAM, gave upp after that)

It was most likely the PCI speed. The HD tried to run at 42Mhz, and couldn't do it. You might have stood a chance if you had disabled DMA on the HD, and gone down to the lower PIO modes.

Theres always scsi...only one device to worry about, the controller. Not 2-4

Usually if the controller isn't happy, it won't boot, or won't scan the scsi bus. Scsi usually doesn't 'half work' long enough to hose your boot sectors n' fat.

Makes you wish you had a mobo that was totaly async and with the posibilites to set every divider from bios!
