How to check if the mobo has AGP/PCI lock ??

[ZL1]

Hi

guys Im looking to overclock, boosting the FSB primarily, but Im worried about my cards, how do I check if the mobo has and AGP/PCI lock ? its an Asus A7A266 and soon (hopefully) there will also be an Asus P4C800-E



Thank you
Dan

I can't speak to the AMD board but I know for sure that the P4C800-E does have the ability to lock the PCI/AGP at 33/66MHz.

well Im glad that one has it, this one is just for fun, but that one Id like to push and the components will be more expensive and burning them would mean a hunger strike




Thanks

you know I think I dont have a lock, I tried OCing it slowly and when the FSB changes the PCI bus to 37 the sytems starts dropping me and the CPU temps are still very mild (just 7mhz or so higher than previous stable at 1459)

The Asus A7A266 doesn't support PCI/AGP locking.

Not much of the older board do.

Its AGP/PCI ratio and it should be locked to 66/33 respectively.
