I've seen people talk about unlocking their Athlons and setting the FSB to 166 on KT333 boards, and I was wondering what else on the system that effects. I know the memory on those boards can be set independent of the FSB, but what about AGP and PCI speeds? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking about getting a KT333 board, and I could see how 166 FSB and memory speed could be faster, but I don't want to be running my AGP and PCI cards at some weird speed. Thanks for any info you all can provide.

The Epox 8K3A (KT333 chipset) has a 1/5 PCI divider so the PCI bus is in spec at 166 MHz. The AGP should be in spec as well. I don't know about other boards though.
