is there a way i can run my duron 200fsb @ 266 by selecting 133fsb in bios???

In therory you can, most chips will do this easily. I have seen some Durons not go to 133mhz FSB. But remember that not all chips are created equal.

my computer wont even post. it just sits there with all the fans on...............

should i drop the multiplier too?? right now my machine is running 9x100 but it's a pain to change because it's an AZ11 mobo.... so i gotta solder and unsolder on it..........

you think 7/7.5x133 would work?

?

old MB?

well anyway yes drop the mult. and you may need to unlock the L7 or L6 bridge on you cpu (one is for fsb speed an the other for voltage)

all unlocked..... :)

you think 7/7.5x133 would work? Sorry to tell you this but you're wasting your time trying to get an AZ11 motherboard to run a 133MHz FSB.

This motherboard, as well as most of the first generation socket A motherboards uses the VIA KT133 chipset. This chipset generally will not run at a FSB much above the 107/110MHz range.

When AMD introduced the 266 "C" CPU's, VIA reworked the chipset to "officially" support the higher bus speeds of 133MHz+. The newer chipset is the KT133A. There are a few reported cases of people getting the higher bus speeds out of this older chipset (as well as the KT133E), but they are few and far between.

By the way I've still got one of those boards and stuck a 650 T-BIRD that wouldn't overclock very well anyway and I have a good solid and stable system for the kids.

Good Luck!

i got my 700duron to go 900. and my 800 t-bird (RIP) 950
if you want, i can tell you what to do to get it up there.

Try this:

Although I think that it's a waste of time, given the limitations of the KT133 chipset.

By the way, I've had DURON 600's to 1130MHz and 1G T-BIRDS to 1.4g, but not on an AZ11. Read my signature at the bottom of the post.

read it.. that's how i did it ... kind-of..... the way i did it no dipswicthes needed......


anyways. thanks for the help all..
