ECS k7s5A and overclocking

I have a 650 Duron running at 900 on an old KT133 board and I was thinking about getting the ECS K7s5a because eventually I want to get a XP processor and I still want to use my existing pc133 memory for now. I know that ECS board isn't the best choice for overclocking but I heard some have done it sucessfully.

So ECS overclockers,think I can bring my Duron back up to a stable 850/900 mghz with this board till I save up a few more bucks or is it not worth the headaches?
 
6.5*133= 864.5

you should be good.
You can set the cpu/ram at 133/133 and you will get more than 850..
 
zzzz is correct as usuall, I've run a 700Duron in the K7S5A 7x133=931mhz and the memory benchmark was surprisingly good when coupled with 2100DDR, it was also very stable.
 
Well thanks for the quick responses. I guess the only modification I "may" have to do is the voltage pencil trick cause I have it kicked up a little on my current M/B and I see the ECS doesn't offer that option. I think I'll get one ,Thanks again
