Question about the Abit KA7

[DragonFire]

I have a Athlon 700Mhz with a 800 core and was hoping to get to 900MHz using the FSB plus option. I have heard that even when using the FSB plus option your memory is still over clocked. So if the FSB was at 100Mhz and the plus option was set to 10, the ram would be running at 110MHz. How true is this? If its true, could the following work with out a to big of a memory hit? I would set my plus option to 28 so I would have 7x128=896Mhz, the use the FSB-PCIbus for the memory? I was told that using this setting was bad but my memory should be running at 95Mhz, that can't be to bad?

well, yes if u set the increment to puls 10, ur fsb is 110. u could possibly check out the fsb using say somethin like sisoft sandra which gives ths fsb in the m/b info section.
ya, i think u are right abt the 95 ram clock in the fsb-pci setting.

get out and by some 133mhz ram! mine is running at 150mhz right now with cas3 and its quite a common "no-name" ram. (FSB is running at 113, multiplikator is 6,5 but its a 700 0,18µ@735 right now) i *really* hope that abit releases a bios für my ka7 in which i can change the cpu multiplikator like in the kt7, i dont want to buy a gfd.

greetings
