Duron 700 at 133 fsb.

Do I have a good chance of getting my duron 700(ful) running on the 133 fsb motherboards? I RMA my MSI Pro2a(100fsb) this week because of a bad floppy controller and hope to get one of the new boards. I only played around with the two above for one evening and managed to get the duron up to 850mhz at 8.5 X 100 with 1.7 volts(for some reason my voltage maxed out at 1.7 and not 1.85, I think it could have hit 1Ghz no problem). I have Micron 512mb(2 X 256) 133mhz ecc ram which ran cas2 without a hitch. Right now I am thinking of the Abit KT7A Raid, btw, does it let you lower you default multiplier, my MSI didn't you go lower than the default of 7 for some reason.

Youll have no problem running the Duron at 133 FSB. I run my T-Bird at 150.... the cache and CPU will still run at the same speed on 133 if you lower the multiplier, so really the FSB has no direct impact on the CPU.

Actually let me add this on. From what I have read both the MSI and Abit wont let you go below 7 multiplier at 133FSB.... I can say from experience the Asus will let you go all the way down to 5X.
