Never heard of a KX133, do you mean the KT133??
My Asus A7V board had the KT133 and jumpers for higher FSB but the chipset wouldn't handle it.
Also, your memory has a great deal to do with it.
Post more info on your entire system and you will get lots of great help on this forum.
I know I have!

Nope, it's a KX133. I have a PVK7 MB, a 700 K7 slot a, and 384mb micron pc133. The board is running at 100 and the memory is designed for 133, so I know 112 won't hurt the memory. My only doubt is in the chipset. Surely I'm not the only one with a kx133.

Although most of the interest has shifted to the current socket A platform, there is still support out there for the older slot A's. I'm sure that if you keep this thread near the top you'll get some responses.
Now on to what I think I know about that chipset. The KX133 was the VIA chipset for the slot A processors, this chipset was designed before the advent of the 266MHz FSB CPU's and like the subsequent KT133 chipset, it doesn't "officially" support FSB's much above the 110MHz range. From what I've seen in the CPU Database, this holds true.
As far as overclocking this chip, if you follow the generally accepted practices, you show be able to get a substantial increase in speed / performance. Make sure that you have adequate cooling, good memory and capable peripherials.
Although I'm not personally familiar with that motherboard, many offer an asynchronous setting to run the RAM at a higher bus than the CPU. Sometimes a jumper, 100 / 133 or in the BIOS. Check your motherboard manual or the manufacturers website for details if this applies to your board. You will also probably need a "gold finger device" to be able to adjust the multipliers on the slot A boards. Maybe somebody more familiar with these boards will clearify this.
I hope this helps, Good Luck!
