My FIC AZ11EA has a jumper switch that select petween pc100 and pc133 fsb. Does this mean thats as high as it will go? IE: 10x133?
 
what does your BIOS say about FSB? My M/B has a jumper on the board, but in my BIOS I can adjust to 166mhz.
 
Like all of the first generation socket A motherboards, the original AZ11 board had the KT133 chipset. Although the option for increased FSB speeds are shown in the BIOS, the chipset rarely supports much over the 107 / 110MHz range.
With the introduction of the 266FSB's CPU's, VIA reworked the chipset to officially support 133+MHz. I believe that the AZ11EA is a revised board that takes advantage of the updated chipset. I personally have no experience with the later AZ11EA's, I have an early AZ11, maybe somebody else could post their results.

One other thing, here's a link to an article that shows how to install DIP switches to manually adjust the
multipliers;


Read through the whole article, it gives an explanation of all of the bridges and what the control.

Keep in mind that this article deals with the original AZ11 and I'm not sure if the information contained in it pertains to the later AZ11AE.

Research, the key to a successful overclocking experience!

Good Luck!
