Anyone know if a V5 5500 will run on 133fsb

Anyone know if the V5 5500's do well on a 133 fsb with 1/4 pci divider????

I know the geforce and geforce 2 do well on an o/c agp bus ?

Thanks

What really matters is not the FSB, but the speed of the AGP slot. Usually this is set at 2/3 of the FSB, so if FSB is 133, AGP would be 88 Mhz. Now to finally answer your question---yes, the V5 will run fine at 88 Mhz.

Some motherboards have 1/2 AGP dividers and in these systems, the AGP port would be running at 67 Mhz. Obviously the V5 runs well at this speed also...

you should have no problems considering that the V5's don't use a couple of the most intensive AGP "features" so the card is much less susceptible to instability on an overclocked AGP bus than, say, a Geforce series card would be.
