I have flashed the latest BIOS and it recognizes it as a XP1900+ but I cannot get it to recognize it at any higher multipliers even though I can change it up to 15X 133 in setup. It just slows it back to 667 when I save and restart. Anybody know anyway around this?
Yes, the problem is, with most mobos, the multipliers have two ranges, 5.5-12.5, and 13-22, or something like that. You have to do some bridge-modding to switch between the ranges. There's a good article on www.overclockers.com about it, it's still linked from the front page I expect.
On my MSI KT4V-L, Via KT400/8235 chipset (supposedly, KT400 and NForce2 boards, are "fully unlockable", but mine isn't), I get the multiplier option range from 6.0 to 12.5, in 0.5 steps, and then a 14.0 and 15.0 mult. But the 14.0 and 15.0 mult, are actually 5.0 and 5.5 multiplers. So you are probably running at 133Mhz x 5.5, a little above 667Mhz.

There goes my theory that I might be able to recognize TBredB chips at a computer show at a distance by their green PCBs. :|
The highest I can get my TBredA stable is around 1.667-1.7Ghz, but my mobo only lets me set it to max 1.6v. Stock is 1.5v. I think I might be able to push it to XP2200+ stable with 1.65v, hoping for a BIOS upgrade.

Why would you want an A? I assumed they as in Newegg got rid of thier old A's 2 weeks ago or something since they are shipping out B's now.

Looking over your info I saw you got Win XP Pro free. any kind of deal like that still around?
As for the 2000 mhz barrier issue.....I have 2 of the XP1700 Tbred B chips from Newegg (I love em!!) but I am limited to 1975 MHZ (Recognized as XP2400) 158x12.5 @1.65 xvolts@ 38 degrees because both of my MB's....MSI K7T Turbo2 and an Abit Kt7A can only go to a 12.5 multiplier...1 w/ PC 133 258MB Ram and 1w/PC 150 Ram....just goes to show that decent ram will go a long ways......still wish I knew a way around the 12.5x thing....both have been flashed with the latest BIOS also......
