Can the ATi 8500LE handle the AGP bus @ 88Mhz+ ?

Going to upgrade one of my computers to a
Celeron 1.1A @ 1.46

Its on a Abit BF6 (1/4 PCI but only 2/3 AGP)
So does anyone know what that Radeon can handle? If possible i wouldnt mind pushing it 140Mhz FSB or so.
 
From what i've heard the posibility of even hitting 133 with the 2/3 divider isn't that great. THen again, maybe i'm wrong. But I think Fkloster tried to get to 133 on a P3 board and the dividers held him back. I dunno if the same situation would apply to you, though.
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the AGP always double for the PCI settings?
If this is the case, then if you had a 1/4 for PCI at 140fsb, you could do 35mhz PCI and 70mhz AGP?
 
That would be incorrect. The fact is that each one has their own divider of the system bus. Normally AGP is 2/3 the system bus on 100MHZ systems while PCI would be 1/3. For 133FSB you'd need 1/2 and 1/4. If you had a motherboard that supported a certian divider for PCI but not for AGP you could have unusual frequency havok like that.
