Can my mobo handle this overclock?

I've been reading about being careful when you overclock because of the PCI/AGP divider. I think I may have messed up my video card because of an aggressive overclock. Right now I'm running an XP2100+ at 150 FSB on an MSI K7T mobo with PC133 memory. I cannot set the PCI/AGP divider manually so I believe dividers kick in at 133/166 FSB. Do you think I will be able to take this board up to 166 FSB? My CPU stays pretty cool at 150 mhz but I'm worried about my memory, do you think it can handle it? Thanks.
 
On any Mobo without fixed pci/agp settings you are OCing based on pci settings. Once you have the pci bus around 40Mhz you are asking for trouble with corrupt data etc. especially with agp 4x enabled. I dunno what memory you have but most likely your pci buses will limit it first.
 
Yep ,what he said😉

Also though ,even you have some good PC133 RAM like Crucial CL2 it'll only run upto about 150MHz at CAS2 ,though it'll go higher at CAS3
I should think your AGP card would be fine upto 166MHz FSB (83MHz AGP).
I believe your mbrd uses the KT133a chipset? ,if so then the lowest PCI divider it has is 1/4 ,going to 166MHz FSB will give you 41.5MHz PCI ,thats very risky for your HDD data!:Q

btw rig link isnt working
