pci divisor of 5

[e_storm]

I've heard some talk about some new boards (MSI I think) coming out soon with PCI divisors or 5. Does anyone know of any boards with that divisor that are out now?

If my math is right, your really gonna need that, or else your PCI bus will be screaming and your pci cards won't work. For instance, 166mhz = only 25% above 133mhz bus... but 166/4 = pci running @42mhz = 26% over 33mhz pci spec.

From what I know, the pci bus is very sensitive to anywhere over 10% over spec, or ~36.7, whereas the system bus and ram are not.

In other words, unless you have good pci cards that can withstand overclocking, your effectively limited to 150mhz fsb on a 133mhz system... right? Any feedback on this is appreciated.

So, are there any boards out there now with a pci div of 5?

I have heard of that also- and so far that is the only brand(MSI) that i have heard will do so-maybe check at MSI.com. Its pretty amazing that we overclockers are changing the wya boards are built-cause if your a non overclocker than why would u need a 1/5 divisor-i guess we have some weight in the digital world

Yea, I guess we are changing a few things... cool. I checked some sites, but couldn't find anything on pci divisors. If I'm not mistaken, I think the boards aren't due out for a few months. I hope not... I'm in the market for one now, I already have a bunch of parts ready
