I have an ASUS A7V8X (NOT an A7N8X) and it has the 333MHz FSB sticker on the south bridge. However, when I flashed my BIOS to the 2 different versions that are supposed to enable support for a 333MHz FSB, it doesn't show... I tried resetting the CMOS but that didn't do anything for me. Is this because I'm using an Athlon XP (Thoroughbred A) 1700+ ? I've also got 2X 512 MB DDR333 RAM.
As a side note, I can get a stable over clock with 166 FSB X 11 multiplier or a 172 FSB X 10.5 multiplier. Is the 166 X 11 actually better for me, or would the 172 X 10.5 do better because it's forcing the RAM to act a bit faster. Default timings of 2.5-3-3-7, best I could do was 2.5-2-2-7. (Note: I didn't check to see if it was stable with the RAM OC'd.)
Thanks,
