KT3 Ultra2 Bios Help

[kyu614]

I have a MSI KT3 Ultra2 with AMD XP 1800+. In the Bios, the CPU FSB can be set from 100-220 Mhz, but doesnt the XPs have a 266 FSB? is there a reason why the Bios wont let me set it to 266 Mhz? Does it have anything to do with it being DDR so the actual FSB is only half of 266? It is currently set it to 133 Mhz. Thanks.

Any other advice for Bios settings is appreciated (to improve performace or stability).

Remember that the meaning DDR stands for Double Data Rate. 133x2 = 266

The bus runs at 133MHz, but because it transfers twice per clock, people just call it 266MHz...which is technically wrong.
