quick one: what's the maximum agp/pci bus speed without frying nic & sound card on a kt133 mobo?

thanks guys!

Your chances of maxxing a AGP/PCI card on a kt133 mobo are near to 0. You might be able to do it with a kt133A mobo though.

agreed, If it's locking up at a higher FSB, it's probably the chipset. You can try setting the I/O voltage to 3.4 and 3.5 though, that's what that fan is for on the KT7-Raid.

so does that mean chances are, i won't fry any pci/agp cards on a kt133 mobo then?

out of curiosity, what then is the max agp/pci bus speed for a nic/sound card/gfx card for any given mobo (ie kt133a)?

Even in the old days of 66MHz fsb, overclocking to 75MHz worked every time, and in some cases 83MHz worked.

75Mhz put PCI at 37.5MHz, and AGP is 2x PCI.

You can use that as a given today as well, for the 100% safe maximum in most cases.

With the KT133
Using FSB speeds of 100 and up, and it's 1/3 for PCI,
so 100MHz fsb = 33/66MHz, and 112MHz fsb = 37.5/75MHz.

With the new KT133A
Using FSB speeds above 132MHz and it's 1/4 for PCI,
so 133MHz fsb = 33/66MHz, and 150MHz fsb = 37.5/75MHz.
