I was wondering what motherboards easily allow running a 200fsb athlon at 266fsb, after unlocking? I hear some motherboards post at default multipliers (ie. 10.0) and if the dipswitch is setr to 133+ fsb, there may be problems posting. Does the Asus a7v133 have this problem? LMK. thx.

Hey guys! Techdeals is back!:)

Thanks

I am getting a new cpu and hs/fan within the next week. I was wondering if the hs compound was absolutely necessary when attaching the hs/fan to the cpu? This is for a thunderbird 850, running at 200fsb. After applying it, will it be very hard to remove the hs from the cpu, should the need arise?

Ok, I need everyone's opinion. I have to decide between a 200fsb athlon which I will attempt to run at 266fsb, or get what could be a much higher priced 266fsb athlon (both 1.0 ghz). Have there been a lot of problems with people connecting the L1 bridges to change the multiplier, or any other...

Hi, I just saw the review over here about the k7t turbo motherboard and they said they could not run an athlon at 133fsb, even tho they unlocked the processor. Is this a common thing, or just a fluke? I was planning on upgrading within the next couple of weeks to a 1.0ghz athlon. I have...

I was wondering what the real difference between a boxed (retail) athlon and an oem athlon bundled with heatsync/fan? Is the heat sync/fan already attached to the athlon in the retail boxed version?

Anyone know if they are releasing 1.0ghz athlons with the 266 fsb? I have so far only seen price quotes for the 1.2 ghz ones.

Thanks.

Anyone know if we can buy these 266 fsb athlons yet? I havent been able to find them on pricewatch or pricescan. I am looking for quotes for either a retail version or an oem version with a fan attached. Thx.

2 things. First, anyone know if pc133 ram can still be used in those new Athlon DDR ram motherboards? Second, are there still major issues with using a 266 mhz fsb frequency on a thunderbird designed to use a 200 mhz frequency? Thanks.
