I had to take it down from 150 MHz (2x75MHz) to 133 MHz (2x66MHz). My gut feeling was that there was a problem with memory access at 2x75 MHz... but I didn't bother to research this problem further. Now, the system runs like a charm (but a bit slower). It's been up for about 20 days (including running a few "make world" to test stability...). Regards, Alex.
