I have an old Pentium 233 MMX Im going to play with. Its on a Aopen Ap58 board, which allows me to adjust the FSB from 66 MHz to 75 MHz or 83.3 MHz....but I read that my SiS chipset doesnt like the 83.3 MHz setting....will it work alright or should I just use the 75 MHz? It will run @ 266 MHz with a 75 MHz fsb. Im using 128 MB of PC-133 ram thats running at PC-66. Tried and ram works fine. So the memory should have no problems reaching 75 or 83.3 Mhz...just the chipset....what do you think? Will it cause my PCI things to go screwy? Im using the AP58 special edition, which has both SDRAM and EDO ram support. If I was able to run at 83.3 MHz, my 233 would be o/c @ 290 MHz :) Also would heat be an issue at these speeds? I have never o/c my Athlon because of heat, buts its a intel. Please help aSAP
