Voodoo3 2000 AGP and a 133 Mhz bus speed.....HELP

Here's my problem.

I just ordered a Pentium III 666 MHz Coppermine, with a 133 MHz bus requirement. Not a problem for my motherboard, since it supports FSB speeds of up to 150 MHz. Not a problem for my RAM, since it's Micron PC133 Memory. HOWEVER, since I'm still on an archaic BE-6 (original, not even revision II) I only have the choice of running my AGP bus at 1:1 (IE, 133 MHz, 2x the spec'd speed) or 2:3 (IE, 88 MHz, 1.3x the spec'd speed).

So my question is, will my Voodoo3 2000 card incorrectly function when the AGP bus is run 1.3 times the spec'd speed? Does anyone have any experience with this card and a higher AGP bus speed?

Thanks.

Wow. That was damn fast. Thanks for the quick heads up, I'm feeling more relieved already. ;-)

I have my FSB at 134 with 2/3 divider on a V3 3000 overclocked to 196mhz. P3 700@938. No problems at all. I have run it at FSB up to 143, but i need a peltier to do that stable. No V3 3000 agp problems up to that speed (1001 mhz).

Wooohoo! Got this this up and running flawlessly. You can see the specs if you click on the link by my profile. It's nothing monstrous, there really isn't any overclocking going on, but what this system lacks in speed it more than makes up for with the finer amenities. ;-)

Thanks for the help guys.
