I've also been told that I should be able to pretty much set everything seperately on this board. In other words the PCI bus is locked (no need to worry there), the AGP bus is locked (I set it that way) and I can control the FSB and the memory speeds seperately.
Looks like I should be able to set the memory initially at "SPD" and set up the FSB to 166 (333) and boot up. Then I can play with the memory speed until I notice things are getting flakey?
What are the signs that you are pushing the memory too fast?:beer:
If you set it to 166Mhz, Save and Exit from the BIOS, and it is able to reset and POST normally, well, it'll at least do that. Then you can test for stability using something like
memtest86.
You'll know right away if it is incapable of 166MHz if it just freezes there, and/or starts beeping at you. Then, hit the reset button, and IMMEDIATELY start tapping the Insert key. This'll have the system boot at its default speeds - go into the BIOS and set the RAM back to 133MHz.
