I need some help guys... I have a Duron 750 o/c to 985mhz and I have a Asus A7V. Is there anyway I can seperate my PCI and AGP fsb from my Ram on the A7v? also, I just got the Micron PC133 Ram and the bios tells me that I can only choose the cpu frequency (109) or +33 (142)... but when I run the cpu frequence +33, my computer wont run. Is that normal to have just these two values? Lastly, that program is there to test out my hardware... like chip, ram, temp, stability etc... I appreciate your help!

well, i'm glad you got another 50mhz or so out of your system. to answer your question about ram, when you run it at 133 and your fsb at 100, you're essentially running it at fsb+pci. when you overclock the fsb, the pci frequency increases as well, so if you run your ram at fsb+pci, it'll increase as well. that's why you only have the option of 109(fsb) or 142(fsb+pci). the program i told you about before which would give you all those benchmarks was sisoft sandra which can be downloaded here. try running your fsb at a lower speed because it may allow you to keep your ram at that higher frequency. you'd see better performance out of 9*105=945 with your ram at 138 than 9*109=981 with the ram at 109.
