8k7a - how to use 1/5 PCI divider?

[TunaBoo]

I have the newest bios. THere is no setting so I guess that at 166 it switches to 1/5? Or is it 167? No matter what I do, I cannot get it to post at either, with EITHER of my sticks of ram, and ramvoltage cranked up.

Do I need special memory settings? I have something like 16 8 8 some 2's and a 2.5 for cas. I tried 8 8 8 some 2's and a 2.5 for cas with no luck. Blah.

i thought those dividers automatically kick in.

Is it at 166 or 167? And Do you know what mem settings will let me get that high (hopefully).

I have been waiting for a 1/5 divider forever. It would be so sweet to run at 166 FSB and not run my PCI out of spec. w000t.

I'm running 172 right now..and I can hit ~182mhz with the least agressive memory settings on the 8K7A with the new bios. Now all we need is for that PC2700 stuff to start showing up. Oh yeah, the 1/5 divider kicks in @ 166mhz...

Which are? Go to the option and do slow? Or Put in stuff by hand? I thought my timings WERE not aggressive, but apparently they are.
