i alredy have a motherboard asus P2B-F chipset is intel 440 BX agp.But procesor is working on 681 Mzh.
When i put on 133 BFS is not working thats 733 Mhz.

It is very unlikeley that there is anything wrong with your motherboard. This is a good overclocking motherboard indeed.

Your Memory may be at fault.

Your AGP bus may be overclocked too much for your Graphics card.

Your CPU may be too old a stepping to ramp too much.

Have you upped the voltage much.

Is your cooling sufficient to stabilise the CPU??

If you want to keep your chip, then I would look for a board with an 815e chipset, it has 1/2 agp, ata 100 support, and is close to a bx when it comes to thruput, but because of the agp devider, you might see those phantom clock speeds you've heard about, I have an Abit SH6 (815e) and I have gained speeds I never saw on my BE6.
But I also have to agree that heat or voltage is the issue, and first I would try some brand name thermal grease..as this woulld be the least investment, next, try to add a fan for the vid card, also of little expence,and if all else fails then try a new mobo....but I have found logical thinking and patience is the best ally an O'C'er can have, but in the end and after weighing all the options, I usualy spend :-)
