Is it Possible to Run a Duron 1.3ghz with a 266mhz FSB?

If you unlock it and drop the multiplier to 10, as long as you have PC2100 or higher you should be fine.

what he said. easiest

FYI you should have gotten a duron 1ghz (new core w/SSE) and just set that 1.33 (266fsb) that works

not really. and morgan core duron 1.3 is supposedly hard to unlock. plus you are not likely to run this chip on a board with adjustable multiplier. so if you mean running at 13 x 133 = 1733 then no, its basically impossible without voltage adjustments and really, really good cooling.

yeah so trade someone your duron 1.3 for their 1.0

it may be possible depending on cooling, board, ram, and psu

not possible most likely (unless you are using phase change, then it may be) without dropping mult

well, basically I was planning on doing it by dropping the multiplier. I'm basically just holding onto the processor till prices on the Athlon XPs drop quite a bit. I don't want to deal with overclocking, I'm shooting for a quiet system this time. It'd be nice if it didn't sound like a helicopter was hoverring over my room all the time
