1.6A + P4B266 = success at 2.133ghz

So far, it's working like a champ. Running Prime95 right now, and 3dMark2001 earlier. No issues as of yet.

Well, one -- but it's not OC related. The onboard sound on the P4B266 is evil. It works when there is no other PCI cards in the computer. Add another card, and the first sound the computer attempts to make and the whole thing hard locks.

With the onboard sound enabled, I tried an Intel Pro 100+ Management adapter in every possible PCI slot. No joy.

It's now running fine with an SB Live Value, 2 network cards, a modem, and a GF3 Ti200. (onboard sound disabled)

What;'s your bios REv on that board? I have the same problem with onboard sound but I'm afraid ti flah the BIOS to introduce more problems. Asli did you stick with default voltage? How's you memory set, auto, 1:1, or 3:4?
 
Thanks

I've had it up over 2.2 and it seems stable, but I don't have high-end memory, so I don't want to run "at the edge".

Now if I could only get this audio to work ... I've already promised my SB Live to someone, and if I can't get this to work, I'll have to go buy a freakin sound card :|
 
Got mine at 133 FSB, 2.13 Ghz. solid and stable. How can I tell if my PCI/AGP is in check? is there a setting on the p4b266?
 
kevman - I'm pretty sure that the P4B266 runs the PCI at spec (33 MHz) @ 133 MHz by default, no adjustments required. It also runs the PCI @ 31 MHz @ 125 MHz FSB (a nice feature!). AGP is also in spec of course (2X PCI for AGP 1X ... 4X PCI for AGP 2X , 8X PCI for AGP 4X).
