is the 1711 BIOS (8K7A) the only one with 1/5 PCI?

Is this the ONLY BIOS with the 1/5 PCI divider? the 1606 bios DOES NOT have this feature, correct?

Also: I want to OC (ill have a 1.2ghz chip). Should I go ahead and get this BIOS after i install stuffs and am ready to overclock?

OR

Should I see if my FSB will even approach 166 before I flash?

1711 is the only OFFICIAL BIOS with 1/5 PCI. I think there are some beta ones out there but no point in getting them.

The problem with trying 166 now is that your PCI/AGP will be way overclocked and probably will give you problems. I say get 1711 and try 167 Mhz with memory timings set to 'auto'. At 167 Mhz with 1/5 PCI your PCI is at 33 Mhz spec so no problem there. My Crucial PC2100 isn't stable at 167 Mhz so the flashing/testing of 1711 was largely a waste of time for me but if you have great memory then there is a performance boost to be gained from the high FSB speeds.
