Will I need to change the core voltage? I've got PC2100 memory and feel it would be a shame to be stuck at 200 Mhz when 266 is there for the taking. I know how to change the FSB and Core mulipliers, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have to change the CPU voltage. Any help?

If I ran it at 133 x 9 for 1197 MHZ would that be any increase over 100 x 12 for 1200 MHZ? Is the Bus speed that important? I may try 133 x 9.5 for 1264 Mhz if it will stay stable but I'd like to get the bus speed up even if the CPU stays close to the same MHZ, like 8.5 x 133 for 1131 Mhz.

From what I understand the Duron 1.1 isn't clock locked so I shouldn't have any issues with changing the multiplier.

pc2100 ram is rated for 266 fsb i'm pretty sure. mine is anyway.
if you can get your chip to 133 fsb and keep good temps, then do it!

yes, 133 x9 is better than 100 x 12. it's quite a bit better. look at it this way, if your core can't get data from your devices quickly(bus speed), what's the point of it being able to compute super fast(actual clock speed)?
