Leadtek Nforce2 mother have PCI LOCK!

[Hottie]

I might be the first ATer to have a Leadtek Nforce2 MB, I choose it is only becaue it is 1/2 the price of the ASUS-D one. I have it w/ AMD 1700+ TB Ver A. If the bios and the system monitoring software in windows telling the truth, no matter what I try the PCI is always on 33mhz.
So far the board is fast and have let me down the last 72hrs. The only problem I have is sometime it won't reboot after bios, I will have to actually press the reset bottom. Any idea why is that?

Anandtech asks about PCI Lock on Leadtek K7NCR18D:

"Leadtek has finally gotten back to us and, according to them, their K7NCR18D does not include a PCI bus lock at 33MHz, and therefore the PCI bus will be overclocked at certain overclocked FSB speeds."

On leadtek MB, when boot up in bios it will tell you ur cpu, ram, fsp, agp and pci. In my case it is

AMD 1700+
145/145/66/33

And it come w/ a system monitoring software in windows to show you all the info like vcore, temp, fsp, agp, pci....etc
AGP is always on 67mhz and PCI is always on 33mhz no matter how I clock it.

Hello again. Notice they said "certain overclocked FSB speeds." Did you read the PCI bus speed for FSB speeds around 200MHz (400MHz DDR)? I don't think you can read the PCI bus that way. You need a PC Geiger PCI bandwidth monitor - it cost $$$.

o...k.. I will try it tonite and see what the limit on this board...
