1) use a 4/5 ratio if you are at 133 fsb. This will set the ram at 166mhz or 333ddr (for pc 2700) 2) looks like moving up to 140 was a nogo for either your ram or your CPU (probably the CPU). If it fails to reboot correctly, it SHOULD, after a minute boot into the bios with default speeds...

[qActually, you can plug a normal 32-bit, 33MHz PCI card in a 66MHz, 64-bit PCI slot.[/i] >> Alas, claims of backwards compatibility are not yet a reality. The first widely available revision of the Asus A7M266-D will not allow 33mhz/5v cards in the 66/64 slots when used in jumper-free mode...

In an effort to better represent real world performance, Sisoft has come out with a few different versions of the Sandra memory benchmark. One (probably the one you are using) measures "buffered aEMMX/aSSE bandwidth" - This one always comes out with extremely high scores. The standard free...

PC2100 is definitely better, but getting a stable overclock at 150 is much easier with PC150 SDR. I tried both on the K7S5A (9x150 SDR and 9x133 DDR) and have decided to go with no OC but DDR. System is plenty fast and smooth and game the game performance difference wasn't noticeable. Noah

Accelenation used a 1.4ghz chip in their review.

I've been stuck with Matrox and 3dfx for the longest time b/c nvidia 2D quality just doesn't cut it for most of my work. Does any one know of a geforce etc. with nice 2D quality? Even at higher resolutions (1152 x 864 is my favorite)? Noah

Thanks for the advice Raf, I think I'll hold on for a bit until we see palamino. Like you suggest, prices should come down then. Noah

If I could find an nvidia card with good 2D like matrox or 3dfx (R.I.P.), I would be elated. Noah

Yep, got a voodoo 3 in their now. I have a g400 that'll tolerate 100 agp bus (means I have to run at 1125mhz) Noah

You still on BX also? What mobo? Noah

Just got my soyo 6BA+IV 1ghz pentium III setup to 1163 (155) at cas2 (getting 540/600 mem scores with Sandra). It seems super fast and stable, but I feel like I'm at the end of the road. Would it be worth swapping mobo and cpu out for a KT133A setup? Would it cost me? I'm Running win2K...

I certainly do love her - and I'm not ambivalent at all! I'm working on a plan to get things as straight as possible. The difficult part is deciding how and when to talk to her parents (expecially mother). If anyone out there knows South-Asian moms really well, any advice would be greatly...

As a matter of fact, the crucial pc 1600 is identical to the pc 2100. They will both get above 150 cas2 on the right mobo. Just have differently programmed SPD's.

Wow - good morning! Just wanted to add special thanks for troglodytis. That's the kind of story I was hoping to hear (not that it's always best to hear what you hope for!). It's inspiring because it fits the very definition of courage. T knew he was beaten going into it and gave his all...
