I just wanted to say that the tips you gave about using rear window defogger repair kit to close the L7 as well as L1 bridges worked for me!
Like a lot of people on this board, I got the IWLL KK266 Rev 1.1 with a Duron 800 and I could not get the Duron to boot past 950 and no way would it go to the 133 FSB setting. I was pretty disappointed with this board. After reading your tip that L7 bridges also need to be closed, I thought about it and your explanaition made a lot of sense.
On my way home from work I picked up the repair kit and applied to L1 and L7 bridges. I slapped the CPU back in set the FSB jumper to 133 and pressed the button. The screen actually came on showing DRAM at 133 CLK and the little Duron showing 1062! What a joy! Unbelievable. I went into the BIOS, TurkOC 277, and maxed every memory setting I could find, lowered the multiplier to 6.5 and rebooted. Worked like a charm. I ran some D3D to check for stability and started cranking the bus speed up. It wasn't until I reached 157 FSB that my Micron -7E showed any instability. I ran Sisoft Sandra FPU memory and was greeted with a score of 732 Mb/sec. Cool, definitely DDR territory here.
I backed off a bit (to 155) for stability and the board is now rock stable and truly fast. No problems with anything so far.
Thanks Nino, you are my FRIEND !!
