I am considering upgrading my 900 MHZ athalon to a 1.333. My board is a MSI Turbo-R VIA KT133A board.
My questions are as follows:
Cooling: I currently have a Swiftech MC370-0A cooling fan. Will this fan be adequate for the 1.333 processor (overclocked even)? The current processor is overclocked to 1100 MHZ and runs at 52 degrees C under full load (SETI).

Second, will the 1.333 MHZ 266 processor run with a 100 MHZ FSB? I currently have PC100.

That's it. Thanks!
Chris

i have air cooled right now at full it is 58c with alpha pep66
I will be going to water in 2 weeks it is the only way to go with that much power.

as for 100fbs you can make it run at anything you like. even with pc100 you should be able to move it up a little bit

I just put together my system w/1333 on an abit kt7a-raid using a coolermaster dp5-6h51
certified for the 1.2ghtz athalon. the processor runs @ about 122*f under load at 1400mghtz [133x10.5] stock voltages and all.
i also have 2 80mm fans for case air.
as for fsb settings this baby can go anywhere you want to from what ive seen. dont know how flexible your bios or jumper settings are though. im a newby at this.

Your processor will run at 100 FSB, but you'll only be able to get 1250 at most from it due to multiplier limitations (it only goes up to 12.5)...in which case you probably wouldn't want it...
