I have a Duron 750 that I did not connect the bridges on. Am I right in assuming that if I put a Duron 750 in this is will run at 1000 since it is locked at 7.5x? I don't have a pen to connect the bridges, so I want to try this first - if it doesn't run at 1 Gig, I could buy a pen and try a lower multiplier.

ddiccico, i dont have an A board but that sounds right to me. I would think it would default to 133 FSB.
133 @ 7.5 997.5

You are right. I'm running a duron 800 @ 8*133 = 1064mhz, 1.825v on an Abit Kt7A-raid board. i actually connected the l1 bridges so i could mess around w/ the multipliers as well.

Just make sure you have good cooling, and your 750 should run 1ghz fine.

<< Just curious why put a duron on that hot board of yours??? >>


I've got the Duron, looking for a board. I could save $50 or so getting a cheap board, but figure I might as well buy a good one so I could upgrade later.

I'm running my Duron 750 at 975mhz, 6.5x150. Given that I have a POS HSF (Chrome Orb), I'm quite happy with it. I can get it to POST at 997.5 (7.5x133), however, I have to up the core (1.85) and IO (3.7). Freezes on windows load though grr. Give it a shot, you can always reset and start over :).

Initially, it will show up as a duron 750 at 7.5x100. Then just go into the bios and have at it :).

yup, i did the same with my abit kt7a and a t-bird 750 went in, put it at 133/33 and added 1 to get OVER the GHz mark (1005) and it booted rock solid stable at 1005 :)

just that damned gf2 gts/mx issue to work out before i go back up there

(anyone have a good workaround for that? the driving force thing and 4-1 drivers have already failed to solve it)

I know that when a system wont post it will reset the multiplyers to default but what happens if you put the fsb too high??

will it boot up the next time with 100fsb, 133fsb, What???
