I had been running this celly 1.0a on a modded slotket and a via apollo pro 133a mobo. Well, the mobo went tits up, and I picked up this gem.
It's a 'Future power' 815 mobo. It was $42, shipped!
It has FSB setting out the kazoo, Vcore up to 1.85, Vmem, Vcc3.3 and Vcc Agp adjustment.
I was able to get my 1.0a to post at 1.5GHz but not get into windows.
I was a bit unstable at 1.4, due to heat, so I backed off at 1.33, Vcore 1.65.
I could probably get this thing stable at 1.4 if I worked at it. The chipset gets pretty hot above 133 and the HS on it is a tiny greenie. My ram might not be liking the agressive timings at that speed either.
My alpha pep lets temps creep up to 40C at those speeds and 40C seems to be the wall for this chip.
 
Never heard of that board.

Sound like you should get a chipset cooling kit, and perhaps
drop down to 256mb of RAM. (Most boards OC better with
just 1 or 2 memory chips in them...)

That might get you running at 133-135fsb...
 
133 runs fine, and it would probably be stable at 135 or so. I dropped straight down to 133 from 140 when I got freezes in counterstrike.
I tried with the one stick first.
 
Cool. As long as you get it at 133-134 or wherever the
1/4 divisors kick in at, you are doing way good for your
$60 CPU !
