I need help configuring my AMD T-Bird

Recently I purchased an OEM 1 Ghz AMD T-Bird 266 FSB. I went to AMDs website to try to find some documentation on how to verify the CPUs speed and the article I found told me that its a 1.2 Ghz CPU instead. Anyway, I just wanted to get some confirmation if I read it correctly, here's what's written down on my CPU, A1200AMS3C.

Next question I have is, what multiplier would I use and what would be the CPU FSB/PCI Clock for this CPU? (I'm pretty sure the answer to this will be dependent on what the answer is to my first question).

I would appreciate any expertise that anyone can lend. Thanks.

yes its a 1200mhz chip, and its the c version so its 266fsb

default setup would be 9 X 133. 1.75V. I run mine @ 1.4.

Wuts the second like say, should be something like AXIA AVIA etc

and wuts the first letter or number of the third line: Y 9 R etc

I apologize if i ask too much questions, but can you tell me how you arrived at the 33 mhz number?
I trust your expertise, but I just want to get a better understanding of what Im doing. Thanks again.

The pci bus offical standard is 33mhz.
All pci devices are designed to run at this speed so you can use one product in many different motherboards.

To get the PCI bus speed, just divide the fsb by 4 (because at that speed for the fsb, most boards use a 1/4 PCI divider). So dividing 133 by 4 gives you the PCI bus speed of 33 mhz.
