Hi guys,
Thanks for the info

.

But how can I push the CPU a bit more? I'm at 632Mhz & 114 FSB at the moment but the AGP and PCI speeds are quite high.

If I push it to 133 then my AGP goes to 88 (or there abouts) and the PC dies. I have PC100 RAM (2 X 64) and it runs fine at FSB speeds over 100 but NOT 133.

I know my CPU is multiplier locked. However, given that fact, is it my RAM or my AGP/PCI speed or both that are the limitations here? I can't see a way to o/c more than 114/118 as the AGP/PCI speeds keep on rising and there is a 'wall' called 133 FSB.

I've said before that o/cing isn't a major issue with me. But I like to get aa much as I can out the CPU.....just for fun....and because I can

.

So if I have a Katmai would PC133 RAM help me reach a 133 FSB or will the VERY high AGP/PCI port speeds ALWAYS limit my progress?

I've been to 133FSB ONCE BEFORE and the PC died. I haven't gone there again. The board supports it but does the CPU, RAM, AGP/PCI settings ALLOW IT (In REAL terms)??

Yours
