While Tyan and AMD say that only MPs work with the new mobo, tomshardware.com remarks that the old t-birds work without noticable troubles. Since the tyan mobo runs at both 200 and 266 fsb would it be possible to buy a couple 1.4 t-birds with 200 fsb and then overclock them by setting the mobo to run an fsb of 266. This would give me that extra 33 %. Are the chips locked against this and will they take the hit? I realize I will need hella cooling, probably water cooled at least. I'm just wondering if the t-birds have enough overhead for it.

Maybe not 1.4's, but I bet if you got your hands on a couple of 1 gig AXIARs or even AHJYA. There was a post about 1 gig AHYJAs a few days ago i believe. Since both of those steppings could probably make it to 1.33 it would work.
