I am running duron 800@1000

whenever i tried to increase the FSB to over 100

my system don't post at all, even at FSB 101

why??

hardwares problems??

At 10X? If so, that means you are probably at the absolute limit the cpu can run. Try dropping to 9.5 x and going to 105 or 106.

I'm currently testing a 1GHz Tbird at 1338 for a client. Obviously I've maxed my board at 12.5 x, so I've had to go to 107FSB as well. :)

I wonder about the same thing too. I can't get my FSB above 101 either even when lowering the multiplier. My cpu maxes out at 950mhz but not as stable as 900. I've read one of the posts saying it might be the video card that's holding me back. At least that's what the D-Led's are stopping at, on video initialization. Soon as I get a hold of a geforce2 I'll let ya know.

heng1028, one thing that is helping FSB stability, is better cooling of the northbridge. Slap a BlueOrb on it. It drops the temp, in most cases, about 9°C, thus increasing stability.
But in your case, I'm with compuwiz1. You can also try a better cooling solution for the CPU and increasing your vcore voltage. What's your vcore voltage at now? What heatsink/fan are you using? What's your CPU temp?
