IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A LOCKED FSB ON AN 266 AXIA AT 266?"

[CtrlAltDel]

I CANT GO ABOVE 133MHZ ON MY RIG OR IT WILL GO TO WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR..........137x9 and same thing....so i need to know can a axia 1.2 "C" be locked at an fsb of 266??and if so how can i unlock it??any help will be appreciated!!specs:
epox 8k7a+
1.2 axia c
g3 elsa 920 w/1290
pc2400 corsair
tb soud card
wd 20 gig 7200
win me
2 nic cards
so if anyone can answer that and tell me how to unlock the fsb(l bridges)i will be so glad!!

No, the FSB is independant of the CPU. Are you running 133mhz FSB by setting it in the bios, or did you use the jumper to put the board in 133mhz mode. It sounds like you are using the bios to make it run @ 133mhz...this is incorrect on the Epox. If you have the board in the default 100mhz FSB mode, and you are setting 133mhz in the bios, you are still using a 1/3 PCI divisor so your PCI bus is too high...44mhz! There is a jumper on the board to set the FSB to 133mhz mode...it's right next to the memory voltage adjustment jumper, and it is in 100mhz mode by default.

i agree, FSB is not locked anyway only the multiplier. Look for the 133/100 jumper on ur mobo

Well if the jumpers is the case and your PCI bus can do 44mhz... wow you might have a hell of an OC after you set it right!

well i have the jumper set to 133....but when i go over that in the bios it wont boot to windows...what about just using the bios?when i got the board the jumper wasnt even on!!it was there but just on one pin...so now im going to mtake that jumper off and just use the bios...brb

Let me know if you resolve this because I have the same problem,...I think it's a problem? I have a Iwill KK266 and the same 1.2 chip you have and if I set the multiplier higher than 10X I get an error and can't boot windows. Works stable at 1.33, so I guess I should be happy? Better than any Intel chip I've ever had! But is there more I can do?

well..i figured it out or rather someone from another post told me to up my memory voltage and so i did and now i have it at 14x10-1430mhz....i tried to go above that but q3 and 3dm2k1 wont run or they do for a minute then they stop and it goes back to desktop.....im at a 5920 3dmark score .....so do i need to up the voltage on the cpu to go higher with the fsb?
