msi and epox questions again...

I've went through and read alot the posts concerning the k7 master...and I have about it's stability again...because I'm in a predicament. I'm gonna upgrade my system but I'm gonna get everything soon and buy a 750 duron as a placeholder til i get a palamino late in the year. I was considering the k7 b/c it uses the bios to change the multiplier so if i got a 1.5 pala later, i can use just the multiplier and go to higher multipliers(instead of the current 12.5, to oc to like 1.9 or so) made available in a new bios update perhaps...however i've heard only praises about the 8k7a, however, it uses dip switches to change the multiplier and that's hardset at 12.5...no chance of any higher multiplier being made available right?

12.5 is highest with 8K7A yes. But you can overclock the bus and I am sure reach atleast 160MHx12.5 =2GHz

does changing the fsb that much affect the other components like the pci cards and vid cards? Also, if it does, are there any divider options in the bios to bring pci ang agp bus speeds back down to what they need to be(33 and 66 right?..). Or am i totally off and don't need to worry about that at all?
