it might be cause you are only using pc2100 ram. If you invest in either some 2400 ram or some 2700 ram I am sure that you can get your fsb a bunch higher.

Congrats!!!

You should be able to hit 150fsb w/ that ks75a w/ good memory
and powerful psu. I had a k7s5a for about 6mos and ran 150fsb rock stable w/ my old xp1700+.

Maxima, he stated he had a K7S6a not the 5A. 5a has 735 chipset and 6a has 745 chip. They also have diff bios. I havent spent much time with my 6a board so i dont know what you can get as far as fsb. I use it as a linux box and dont tinker with it much.

Try upping your vcore voltage, K7S5As and K7S6As do generally have a problem 150FSB and higher, but I have come across a few that dont like to go 143FSB and higher...
