I'm upgrading from a BX6r2 to either the KT7 or KT7A. I'm looking at trying to overclock it a bit (nothing insane since I don't want to move to water/TEC cooling yet, though I am planning on getting a PEP66). I've been reading about problems getting regular T-birds (200 FSB) to run at 266 with a lower multiplier. I wanted to get some opinions on whether to get KT7 with 200 FSB T-bird, KT7A with 200 FSB T-Bird, or KT7A with 266 FSB T-Bird (whenever those come out...), Also I only have PC100 RAM at the moment and probably wouldn't have $$ to upgrade for a month or so after the rest. Thanks.

the KT7A is definately the better peformer, as for wether the chip will work alot depends on what speed chip your buying, if your going for the gusto at 1.2Ghz everyone seems to not have a problem getting them to work, it appears they're designed to work at 133 or 100, id hang on for a few days until the team here comes up with more solid info about the KT133a problems.
