How well does the FSB of the chip overclock?

I have a kt7 that will only do 110, no higher.


anybody know?

It may be new, but it uses an older chipset, the KT133 rather than the KT133a.

KT133E , its a different revision, I heard that the thing Oc's the FSB really well.

The KT133E chipset overclocks about the same, if not better than the KT133A.

UPDATE: I also heard that the Abit KT7E has a blue PCB. Wooohooo, cool baby.

yep....blue...hehe...read about the kt7e a few weeks ago...when it was released in japan..the fsb should go 133 ... but it's not 100% . i guess it depends on the luck of the draw...

blue....finally...

Here's an article on the KT7E. Seems like it is quite an overclocker

Essential Computer has it for $105 + $12 Fedex 5.6 Reseller rating

Allstar Microelectronics( different company than mentioned above)is $105 plus about $12 (to hear anyway) UPS 6.1 Reseller Rating

Allstar Components/SMK 4.2 Reseller Rating

Just numbers, but I would likely go with the higher rated one. If anyone here has any personal experience with any of these, I'd like to here it.
