I recently purchased a asus a7a and am have trouble running over 133mhz bus. The chip is a 1.2 266mhz. A friend said that I may have gotten the 200mhz version but is not sure. The code that is on the chip is A1200AMS3B AXIA017FPFW Y6039750792. Could someone tell me if this is indeed a 200mhz chip.

yeah, it's the 200mhz version. the B at the end of the first line indicates that. the 266mhz version's have a C instead

ledzep is right, you have a 200 chip not a 266
so its designed to run on a 100mhz bus, but... you can easily unlock it and set the multipier at 9x and the frontside bus at 133. that will give you the 1.2ghz
