Upper 133+ FSB settings on a KT7A??

[oc jason]

Gettin a Kt7A, and i dont understand something-is there settings in the BIOS to get above the 133 FSB, cause i see some running at 145 on that board, and if so do i have to have pc150 or will GOOD pc133 do for FSB's round 145??

well PC150 would be safer, but good 133 should be able to get to 140 or maybe a little higher. Just give it a shot and see is the only suggestion I can give. There are setting for the FSB in the bios utility of the KT7A to change your fsb.

THnaks but as i understood the KT7A only has settings up to 133, so how do i get higher -or is that bogus info?

Good pc 133 ram should be able to handle 145 fsb but it's kind of a crap shoot. I have some Xerox pc 133 cas 3 ram doin 140 at cas2 right now and it's stable. Your best bet would be to get the best ram you can afford.

if i get pc-150, that what is better cas2 or 3 i seem to think that cas 2 is faster even though i think that cas3 runs at a higher mhz??

[TT120]

Cas 2 is better and you can get pc 150 cas 2 ram. I just bought some Corsair pc150 cas2 ram the other day. It hasnt come in the mail yet but it's on it's way.

[oc jason]

how much was it and what size did you get?? What is a good ram-Mushkin-Micron-Crucial-Viking-Kinston, of will they all do?

[TT120]

Those are all good ram. I got mine from PCProgress. i got a 256 meg stick for 121 out the door, shipping included. Corsair 256 pc 150 cas 2.

never seen my KT7A `s fsb up 184FSB.....

GOD....

Sorry, my bad. a KT7A bios only goes to 183 FSB. 155+28. I knew it was way up there but I got my numbers confused.

[oc jason]

Thanks guys but what kind of FSB settings can i expect from 256megs of pc100 Micron Ram, and 128megs of pc-100 generic, wo9uld i just get higher FSB not using to generic -as it may impede the better Micron memory-is 110 possible on pc100

Fusion , you should know better, this is not a CPU question, wrong section.
How about MOBO section.
