no problem, and WELCOME TO THE FORUMS! The difference is basically that the kt133A chipset was released after the kt133 chipset and is a little bit faster. You can oc this board just fine! Infact Abit makes a great board for overclocking! Don't worry it won't be quite as fast as the board you thought it was but i doubt you'll notice too much of a difference and i'll bet you paid less for it too;)

BTW just so you know this really should have been submited in the AMD motherboards forum but don't worry you'll get used to how everything works around here in time. Also, incase you didn't know the mods(moderators) here can edit posts that they think don't belong here or delete entire threads if they get out of hand. They can also move threads like this one that need to be some place else and 99% they do but they miss one every now and then(don't blame them they have to work hard to keep up here). There's also the admins and the asst. admins now but i don't think you're ready for them yet;)

the kt7a is also more stable, but it's not so much of a difference

I think he means he bided on a KT7.
KT7=KT133 (certifeid for 200fsb)
KT7a=KT133a (certified for 266fsb)

But as said you can still make it to 115fsb on the KT7 and however high multi the cpu you have will take. (Basicly you can still overclock)

Also Welcome to the world of overclocking.

::EDIT::
After seeing your other post, You have a KT7A with a KT133a chipset. You bid on the right board.
