i had the multiplier at 6.5 but could only get the fsb to 147 before it was unstable.

it might be cause you are only using pc2100 ram. If you invest in either some 2400 ram or some 2700 ram I am sure that you can get your fsb a bunch higher.

Congrats!!!

You should be able to hit 150fsb w/ that ks75a w/ good memory
and powerful psu. I had a k7s5a for about 6mos and ran 150fsb rock stable w/ my old xp1700+.

Maxima, he stated he had a K7S6a not the 5A. 5a has 735 chipset and 6a has 745 chip. They also have diff bios. I havent spent much time with my 6a board so i dont know what you can get as far as fsb. I use it as a linux box and dont tinker with it much.

i the thrill you gone through...yeah, i was like that when i successfully unlocked my chip a month ago..i felt like on top of the world:eek: congrats, man, and besure to shed some more on your sub-system in order to get the most out of your processor. have fun!

thanks guys but i'm still having problems burning the system in at 143fsb, i dont think the memory is the problem it's running 143 cas2. even if i go to cas3 still probs, any ideas?

Try upping your vcore voltage, K7S5As and K7S6As do generally have a problem 150FSB and higher, but I have come across a few that dont like to go 143FSB and higher...
