yes, it appears that i'm a bit confused now. as i look back to the top of this thread and read your original post Travis, i notice d that you said you can run a 733 @ 1GHz with an fsb of 140 mHz, or at least you are assuming its possible. now it is by now common knowledge that all intel CPUs are multiplier locked, and there is no hardware or software that can override that and manipulate the clock multipliers on any intel CPU. if you look at your 2nd to last post here, after you attempt to correct spamboy, you make reference to your original question in your very first post, only this time you ask the question with the word "ram" replacing the word "FSB" in the original question. this is why we are all assuming that you made a simple goof and accidentally called the RAM speed the FSB speed. like i said in my first post, with an fsb of 182, the 7/9 memory ratio would produce a memory clock of approximately 140 mHz. where are we deriving the 182 mHz fsb? well in order to run a 733 @ 1 GHz we must multiply the already locked multiplier (which is set by intel to 5.5 default) by a 182 mHz fsb to get approximately 1000 mHz, or 1 GHz. now running a P3 733 @ 1 GHz while keeping the FSB @ 140 is indeed impossible to the knowledge of the rest of us. since we know that the multiplier of the 733 is locked at 5.5, we know that an FSB of 182 mHz is needed to reach 1 GHz. if your fsb were only 140, you would only be reaching a CPU speed of 770 mHz, not 1 GHz. this is b/c you are only increasing the fsb 7 mHz above is default 133 mHz. so it is perfectly clear that the fsb must be set to 182 mHz in order to run a P3 733 @ 1 GHz. and like i said b4, that specific fsb speed with the 7/9 memory ratio will give a memory speed of approx. 140 mHz. i'm sure you just mixed up some words or something during your original post...its no biggie
