bus speed on k7s5a and bios question

Puer Aeternus · 03-30-03, 06:38 PM

Board: ECS K7S5A 1.0
Bus Clock: 66 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T 04/02/01

Note the 66mhz
I was comparing my 3d mark2003 to other rigs and noticed that all had way higher bus speeds(100+).

Is this the limit of my board or can I get it higher...I thought it should be 133?!?!? I am embarassed that i never noticed before.

..and another question. I have always put off getting a bios update fo o/c'ing(using speed fan now for a extra 100mhz..whoopee

).

Given the info at top what bios do I want to download?

That 66 MHz reading is an error in 3d mark2003.
Use Speedfan or SSandra to view the correct FSB.
Latest cheepobios from OCW is what I would suggest.

Main Circuit Board b
1400 megahertz AMD Athlon XP
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: ECS K7S5A 1.0
Bus Clock: 66 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T 04/02/01

the above is info from "BELARC Advisor".

That is why I am concerned. I will dig up SisoftSandra and compare.
