Just got an Abit KT7A-Raid set up with a 1ghz Tbird. Im having trouble getting the system to run with a 133 FSB (tried 7.5 x 133). 120 seems about as high as I can set it and have the computer post.

Ive heard that, upon booting up, the system will still try to run at the default multiplier (10 in this case) for a very brief period of time. Is this whats causing the problem? is it trying to boot up at 10 x 133 and hence not working? Ive heard conflicting reports about this. Some people seem to be successfully getting to a 133 FSB with no problem. Anyone who has have any recommendations?

Nm, have the problem fixed now. Had been trying the 133/45 setting (or whatever it is) rather than the 133/33 one. Running stable at 8 x 140 without having to up the voltage. CPU temp is sufficiently low as well.
