asus boards are good as a whole.. but the a7ve doesn't have 133mhz fsb support. people have reported getting the fsb up nice and high, but the kt133e chipset still does not natively support the 133mhz fsb.. i would spend the little extra and buy a kt133a-based board. good choices: asus a7v133, abit kt7a, epox 8kta3 and some of the msi boards (not sure which). getting that fsb up high really does make a difference to your speed, and the kt133a normally allows for nice high fsbs.

well, i have a Duron 850 ...will it support a FSB of 133??...probably.....

the chip doesn't mind whether it's running at 143*7 or 100*10... you just need ram and a motherboard that can cope with the fsb.
