Anybody running 166FSB?

[Boostretard]

Has anybody tried running an AMD processor at the same clock speed, but at 166 vs 133 FSB to measure for gain?

IE, a xp2000 is 1.66ghz and reaches that by 133x12.5, but it could also be unlocked and run at 166x10.

Is there any reason why the proc wouldn't be stable at this config? If anybody has done this (on any speed XP processor) I'd be curious to see benchmarks for both configurations.

Thanks!

The only reason it would be unstable is because the RAM would be running at 333mhz. That is quite an overclock for PC2100 RAM.

I'm assuming you'd see little difference in benchmarks that run from within the caches, but perhaps 3-5% difference in benchmarks that utilize memory bandwidth.
