i just installed my p3 700e today.I have it running at 868 with stock HS/Fan on my ASUS P3BF mobo with 256mb pc133??? memory I bought about 9 mos. ago from STEP. When I bump it up to 933 I notice that during the memory check it only detects 208mb of ram now. I don't think the memory can take the 133 fsb. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

stupid as this sounds.. try disabling jumperfree mode (assuming you use it like everyone else) and try using the DIPS for adjusting your FSB.. it worked better for me
I could only do 840 stable with my 700E on that board and my Soyo runs it at 980!!!! same slot converter, RAM, etc!!!
when i tried dip switches i got it to work at 933, however didn't try higher i had already gotten all i needed to know!
