on my EPOX 8K7A I changed my jumper from 100 mhz to 133 mhz because I have a 266 FSB, do I need to change any other jumpers I have a 1.4 GHZ T-Bird.

in other words, read the manual. If you don't feel like reading, then that should be it. Might want to check the bios to see what it's take on the matter is (it is semi-jumperless right?)

That should be the only jumper you need to change if you don't overclock. You will have to mess with the DDR and Vcore jumpers if you do decide to overclock. But to get going just do the 133 jumper and let her rip!

The only thing you need to do is shut off the onboard sound if you have a soundcard. Other than that you should be able to just start up and go.

I didn't spend a ton of time in the BIOS for that board, but it didn't have a lot of settings having to do with the processor, so you shouldn't need to make any more adustments than you already have to bump the FSB from 100 to 133 MHz.
