well you all seem to know how to do this so maybe you can help a newbie out. this isnt so much overclocking, its moreso making the CPU the way it should. I had a tyan tiger s2460 with dual athlon MPs running at 1.2 ghz each with a 266FSB ...well i bought the board used (stupid me) and found out the CTC controller was bad so it would BSOD constantly and became unusable after very little use. so i had to buy another dual cpu board quickly due to projects that were going on at hte time.. i got the gigabyte GA-7DPXDW . Yes ii know it has some issues, but i know gigabyte is highly tweakable..anyways. the FSB is only 133mhz on the board. Is it possible to make the board run the CPUs at the 266mhz they can handle? if anyone can help me itd be greatly appreciated. takes forever to boot this thing, othewise it runs alright, but id like to get the best o ut of it.

133/266 are the same thing, just different lingo.

When a board has an FSB setting of 133, they mean 266. I won't go into detail, but this is the short version.
