I haven't messed with OCing for a while. But I tried to set my memory @ Cas+2 instead of the default Cas+3 using TweakBios. Instant death. The mem is 2 sticks of 64MB, 66MHz SDRAM. W95, Amptron 9100B mobo w/an AMDK6-2 300 OCed to 366 @ the standard 66MHz buss speed. The whole system will work @ 83MHz buss speed, but not very reliably (DMA errors). Click on the link to see the default TweakBios screen. I realize it simply might not work. Any suggestions?

You've answered your own question--it won't work.
If your memory won't work reliably at CAS-2, there's not much you can doa bout it, other than just not use it.
However, if you have more than two sticks of memory available, you could test each of them seperately--it could be that one stick is CAS-2 capable and one is not. Conceiveably, you could mix-and-match to get what you want.
Also, if the 83 Mhz bus speed is too high for you, you could go for 75. You'd still get a speed increase that way.

Generic cpu and most pc100mhz is only stable at cas3 and some will not even post if switched to cas3. Which mean you have clear cmos if you make this mistake.
