k7vza mobo, there were 2 versions, not sure which 1 mine is but it says it accepts up to 200fsb, my cpu is an amd athlon 1ghz 266fsb. it only runs at 750 mghz, how do i get it higher? some people suggested changing jumper setting 9 or 10, my mobo doesn't have either, please help!

I'm not familiar with the model number, what brand motherboard is it? Is it a KT133 or KT133A chipset on it? You will need to close the L1 bridges on the proc to change multipliers either in bios or by dipswitch. Go the the mobo manufacturer's site and d/l the manual. It should have the info on changing the multipliers.

Does that motherboard have a FSB setting for 133? It sounds like you have successfully underclocked your cpu. If you can't change the FSB then buy a new motherboard.

You have the KT133 version, the K7VZA KT133A (version 3) supports a "266 MHz" FSB.

You can either exchange your processor for a "200 MHz" 1GHz Athlon or exchange your motherboard for a KT133A to achieve the correct cpu frequency. The KT133A solution will provide better benchmark performance.

The best you can do now is 840 MHz by changing the FSB to 112 MHz in the bios.
