Pushing an Intel 810 (not E) to 133 FSB?

Hey All,

Here's my situation: I have an HP 8560C which is equipped with an Asus MEW-VM (OEM) Mobo and currently running a PPGA 500 Celeron. I am in the process of upgrading to a FC-PGA PIII via a Neo s-370 adapter. I realize that my 810 chipset only supports a 100 Mhz FSB, so it seems I am limited to a 850E Mhz PIII. But, my PLL can pushed to 133 FSB. So, can I install a P3 EB (such a P3 1.13 Ghz) and clock to 133 FSB to allow the faster chip and still run stable? Or, will this cause problems such as those typically related to Overclocking (even though my processor itself won't be overclocked). Apparently, the memory on the 810 is clocked independently of the FSB (the RAM is currently at 100 Mhz and the FSB is 66 Mhz). Am I safe to assume that having my FSB exceed the memory speed will be fine(some of my RAM is 100 FSB)?

This is just a guess.
I think you may run into problems running the cpu fsb faster than the memory.
Seems like the potential for the cpu overloading the memory is there.
At the least I would expect poor performance from such a combination.

I just saw on the web that the DRAM working frequency on the Intel 810 = 2/3 x FSB, if FSB is between 66 and 100MHz but DRAM working frequency = FSB, if FSB is over 100MHz. That makes a little more sense. 128 Megs of my RAM is PC133 so could just remove the other 64 Megs.
I guess my question still is, do you guys think I can push my 810 to 133 reliably? I only reason I ask is that I know that people are having great luck pushing the 440BX to 133 and the 810 is supposed to be based upon it.

You will just have to try it.
I dont think anyone would say yes it will work I guarantee it.
Try to buy a cpu from a place that will take it back if it is incompatible
