About ASUS A7V kt133 again :-)

[maker]

the big question is, does thunderbird 1,4 GHz 266FSB run on this motherboard
i know that officially it supports only FSB 200MHz, but in the manual there is said that i can lift FSB up to 166MHz from 100MHz
no Thunderbird 200MHz FSB can be clocked with the 166 MHz FSB
and also there was said that if the FSB is on 133MHz the AGP bus is on 66MHz and PCI is 33MHz as they are when the FSB 100MHz
If the FSB is 112 MHz then AGP is about 70+ and PCI 40+ MHz

is this computer going to run stabil with the athlon thunderbird 1,4 266MHz FSB when the FSB on the MB is clocked 133MHz


excuse my english

No man, you can't push the KT133 over the 110Mhz barrier, perhaps you can reach 115Mhz at most.
In my personal experience the problem is the PCI bus beign pushed as well as the processor bus, and that's the main issue. You'll find than the machinne works fine at 110Mhz in Windows but fails in games, specially with nVidia cards. 3DFx cards seem to support better the overclocking in the PCI, but they are considerably slower in 3D.
You can find Athlon 1.4Gz in 200Mhz flavor, both models exist, you can keep the mobo (the Athlon XPs seems to come only in 266Mhz bus versions).

the thing that is confusing me is that i can set manually with a dipswitch FSB to 133 MHz
and the AGB and PCI bus speeds remain default
