The dfi infinity has gone up to 272 
Course, the soyo dragon isnt even in the same league as the infinity.

Poor guy should have read the stickies on the AMD forum first. Anyway setting to 166 on a KT333 should be no problem if it has the 1/5 divider.

People know nothing today? thats a kt333 aka MAX FSB of 266 on the site. overclock it, GL getting 166
>>> Supports 200/266 MHz FSB
Hmm.. you have the 266fsb 2600+? DUnno hwo common it is, but I havent seen 166 on a kt333 yet Then again.. havent seen many...

A lot of KT333 mobos can do 166FSB no problem - my A7V333 can - having the 1/5 divider is the key to success.

You might want to eat your words.
KT333MBs have 1/5 Dividers and were designed to run at 166mhz.
Where in that post did he say 150 USD? If it CAD thats not bad. YOu might in the future want to qualify your answers before responiding in the manner you did.

Not all KT333 motherboards will do a 166MHz FSB properly: my Soltek 75DRV5 doesn't, for example.

From my personal experience and my friends, the kt333 series never had dividers, the kt400's did, this is with an msi and soyo dragon, they never promised true 166 support on the FSB only with the memory which really didn't benefit much. We used to wait each day hoping they would come otu with a bios upgrade which they eventually did for my MSI, not sure about the Soyo as it was long gone by then but i don't remember them ever getting it. As for my MSI i remember i simply had to set my fsb to 166 and it was suppose to auto lock or something like that.

MSI KT3Ultra2-R (KT333 Chipset w/ 8235 SB) has a 1/5 divider ands does 180-FSBs without much problem. Most via boards have dividers, because they aren't PCI-locked and the FSB runs faster than 33MHz. But, origionally they did only promise support for PC2700 ram, not for 166MHz FSB, but the chipset does support the divider, whether or not it got implimented was up to the board designer.

then he needs a nf7-s mobo and pc3200 ram to get his cpu to its full potentional. Heck he can easily set the fsb to 200 or more and overclock the cpu to 2GHz or more. with his mobo now, hes running way underclocked

wth???? he jsut spent sum money(why are u guys telling him to chuck it already....) come on stop making comments that arent helping him................but besides that setting the divider to 1/5 and fsb to 166 should do the trick did i mention u need to set the correct voltage too??? ......i have a abit kx7-333-r too and yes it has dividers and i went past 170fsb on it.... with pc-2700 ram..good luck getting the thing to work and have fun
and have fun
