1 gig/266mhz fsp athlon run on 100fsb, via KT board?

Will a 1 gig/266mhz fsp athlon run on 100fsb, via KT board?

I just happend to have the chip, and this sucky FIC via KT board (yes, the very first via "a" chipset, not the KTA), and I'm thinking about making an extra system out of them. My thoughts are that it should work at the lower fsb, and there should be no bios issues. Board is the FIC AD-X, I think.

yes, you could make it work, but you would have to have link the L1 bridges on the cpu, then if you have the FIC Az-11E motherboard as I do, you could choose 100fsbx10xmultiplier, or you would link some of the other bridges on the cpu to make it run at that speed, if you have the Fic Az-11 mobo.

yes, it is the AZ-11, cool that it works. Yea, I was planing to unlock the chip because I don't want it to run at 750MHZ. How well does the AZ-11 overclock? Should I bother building a system on this board?

Yes you can. Just need to change the multiplier. And probably unlock ur CPU, closing the L1 bridges.
Crusher let me ask you one thing, since you have a FIC AZ-11E, I think it has a KT133E right? Whats the highest FSB you got on urs?

Thnx in advance!

Hope it helps you a little bit GodMode.

Yeah, unlocked the CPU & up the multiplier to give u the rated clock speed.

How well AZ-11 O/C ? Not very good (KT133 mobo). At best, could hit 110 FSB or higher.

If u dun wanna change ur mobo...this system is still worth building...i guess.

Well with the KT133 you wont go too far Elvisnixon. The KT133 will go up to 110 Mhz FSB, average. You wont go to far from this. Use the multiplier to OC.
For now, if you dont mind to be stuck at 100 Mhz. I dont think it worth to get the KT133A in ur case, just to go 133 Mhz.
In ur case you might wait a little bit more and see how the new DDR chipsets will be, and check their performance. And then go for DDR.

Good luck!
