I'm doubting my Duron unlock job

I know this is a dumb question for many of you, so please...

I am running a Duron 750 at 122x7.5 (100fsb) Is it possible it's not unlocked because it won't post with 133fsb?
I realize I've asked this before six different ways, but I want to be sure before I pull out the cpu and microscope again. Thanks!
 
The reason it won't post at 133 FSB may be it's just too much for the CPU--7.5X133 is a Gig. You can try booting with max voltage, but it may be just too far. 🙁

If you can post at 100 FSB using a 7.5X, 8X, 8.5X, etc. then it is unlocked.
 
A CPU being "locked" or "unlocked" has nothing to do with the FSB speed. It only effects the clock multiplier. If your CPU won't post at 133, then try running it at your 122Mhz FSB and then changing the multiplier to 8x. If it is not stable, just play around with a combination of FSB and multiplier settings until you find one that gives you both performance and stablity.

EDIT: Dangit, I typed too slow again:| You other members should give me a head-start!😉
