Upper 133+ FSB settings on a KT7A??

oc jason · Apr 30, 2001

Gettin a Kt7A, and i dont understand something-is there settings in the BIOS to get above the 133 FSB, cause i see some running at 145 on that board, and if so do i have to have pc150 or will GOOD pc133 do for FSB's round 145??

well PC150 would be safer, but good 133 should be able to get to 140 or maybe a little higher. Just give it a shot and see is the only suggestion I can give. There are setting for the FSB in the bios utility of the KT7A to change your fsb.

THnaks but as i understood the KT7A only has settings up to 133, so how do i get higher -or is that bogus info?

Yes, the bios on the KT7A will go to 184 FSB or something like that. Good pc 133 ram should be able to handle 145 fsb but it's kind of a crap shoot. I have some Xerox pc 133 cas 3 ram doin 140 at cas2 right now and it's stable. Your best bet would be to get the best ram you can afford.

if i get pc-150, that what is better cas2 or 3 i seem to think that cas 2 is faster even though i think that cas3 runs at a higher mhz??

TT120 · Apr 30, 2001

Cas 2 is better and you can get pc 150 cas 2 ram. I just bought some Corsair pc150 cas2 ram the other day. It hasnt come in the mail yet but it's on it's way.

how much was it and what size did you get?? What is a good ram-Mushkin-Micron-Crucial-Viking-Kinston, of will they all do?

TT120 · May 1, 2001

Those are all good ram. I got mine from PCProgress. i got a 256 meg stick for 121 out the door, shipping included. Corsair 256 pc 150 cas 2.

Sorry, my bad. a KT7A bios only goes to 183 FSB. 155+28. I knew it was way up there but I got my numbers confused.

oc jason · May 1, 2001

Thanks guys but what kind of FSB settings can i expect from 256megs of pc100 Micron Ram, and 128megs of pc-100 generic, wo9uld i just get higher FSB not using to generic -as it may impede the better Micron memory-is 110 possible on pc100
