I may have just given up on my fic az11e kt-133 mobo combined with winxp after it got a virus. I geuss i can shove aside to make a nice lil win 98 computer so my old tv tuner would finally be in use again and various other hardware- radeon le, dlink pci network card, cheap pc-133 ram, etc... so it can be used to watch tv, go online, music, and lite gaming. Now i have a spare comp w/ athlon 1200 mhz fsb 200 and gf3ti200 @ ti500 that needs a fast motherboard and maib some ddr ram. I decided that maib the kt266a was the best choice and i'm really looking for a mild overclocking and cheap ass mobo. Then i found the k7vta3 rev2, and it has praise and is only $62 in a local store. This would be perfect, but i must know if it has some overclocking features, i especially need multiplier overclocking, so i can get my 1200 to 1400 mhz. Also, i would be looking into some fsb overclocking options - from 100 to 133mhz at best. Since my 200 mhz fsb athlon is obsolete, it mite be good to get it around 233mhz fsb or even 266 mhz, if it is possible to get these older athlons to the the 266 mhz fsb. Also, are there some agp or pci dividers? Thanks.

Zero toys. That's why ECS boards are so cheap. They have just the basics, but they have those
basics right and straightforward. The only thing you get to choose is your CPU and RAM clocks -
100/100, 100/133 or 133/133, no inbetweens IIRC.

K7VTA3 rev. 3 is just around the corner btw, with KT333 replacing KT266A.
