KG7- what's the highest FSB you've seen run?

Yes, I'm behind the times, but I'm trying to get all I can out of my KG7. With an AXP 1600 and PNY PC2100, I got 150FSB max. Using Corsair XMS3200LLPT, I got 155FSB- once. No more. Am I at the practical limit of this board? I'm pretty sure my AXP will go at least 166, got plenty headroom with the RAM. Any one got over 150-155 with one of these?

I reached 160 on two different KG7 boards. The board is ready and willing, the problem is the memory timings. Check out your Sandra memory scores at 150, the totally wipe out any other 761 chipset at the same speed, coming close to KT266A scores at 10MHz higher. You really have to have a good stick that will run 180MHz on a different board to be stable at 160 on the KG7. Also they seem to need at least 2.9v with the Abit. Icrontic Forums you to have a sticky for the bios settings that worked really well for me.
