BIOS configuration for ABIT KT7A

[limsandy]

Hi, I have just finished assembling my parts for ABIT KT7A. It has Duron 650 @ 975 MHz. I do not want to risk unlocking my CPU so I just increase its FSB up to 150 MHz, therefore (150 * 6.5 = 975)

My memory won't make it up to 150 MHz CAS 2-2-2. But it can do 145 MHz CAS 2-2-2. There are some options I can choose. Should I enable AGP 4X (for Guilemmot Geforce 256 32 MB)? How much should I assign the AGP aperature?

If there are additional tips you can hint me, I would be more than grateful for that. Thanks.

AGP aperature should be equal to 1/2 you physical RAM

There is no risk in unlocking your duron????? not sure what you mean by that??????? Need more info on your system... List everything you got in it. That will help us help you.

I think increasing the FSB of Durons is much easier than doing the pencil trick.

As you wish, this is the complete specs:

Duron 650 @ 975 by FOP32
Abit KT7A
2 X 256 MB Infineon (145 MHz CAS2 max)
Seagate Baracudda ATA/66 20 GB
Optiquest Q95
Guilemmot Geforce 256 32 MB
SB Live! Value
Altec Lansing ACS 54
Pioneer 16X DVD-ROM
Generic casing w/ 250 W
Windows 2000

Help me out with the BIOS configuration. Can I run the FSB at 155 MHz while making the memory run at 145 MHz? "FSB plus" maybe ????

A lot of people and companies say to set AGP Aperature size to 1/2 your RAM but some people start getting problems like that, just leave it at default which is 64. I have never experimented with mines, but still.
