Hey folks, Ive tried several configs and achieved ok clock scores, does anyone have a really good stable config out there they they are really pleased with? Thanks all

AMD TBird 1.1
MSI K7T Pro2 - latest bios flash
3dFX V5 5500 - 3rd party latest drivers (nice)
256 Megs PC133

one more question, what should the bus clock be at on this chip ~ rumors say 133, but i dont buy that, 100?

Thanks all

Well I am 'pretty' sure that that mobo only supports 100 (100) FSB.


Anyone correct me if Im wrong tho.

The MSI K7T Pro 2A only has support (pci dividers) for 100MHz FBS but is adjustable in bios form 100 to 132MHz in 1MHz steps. The Turbo version is the same board with 133MHz support (the 1/4 pci divider) and can go farther in the 1MHz steps. But other than that the two boards are the same.

Its a problem with the KT133 chipset. You can't push the FSB too much farther than 100. I want to say 112 was about an absolute max. The K7T Turbo is the version with the KT133a chipset which is capable of 133mhz+ fsb speeds. With that TBird you might want to try multiplier overclocking instead of fsb overclocking.
