Since the A7V133 has a 133MHz bus, will this sort of overclock the 900MHz Athlon CPU?
E.g From 9x multiplier X 100MHz bus = 900MHz on the A7V -to- 9x multiplier X 133MHz bus = 1197MHz on the A7V133
The multiplier is locked at 12.5x, you can't multiply the bus speed by any more than that. So if you get a 'B' Tbird, you're caught at (100mhz)*(12.5)=1250mhz. If you get a 'C' Tbird, you can crank up (133mhz)*(12.5)= 1662.5mhz. Incidentally, I think the 'C' Tbirds start at 1ghz.
The A7V133 supports 166-100mhz bus speeds. 166mhz*12.5= 2075mhz ?
Are you sure?
I actually had that lead pencil thing in mind, but how do you clock it up to 133MHz...with the DIP switches? - I know sounds like a no duh question, but I'm still learning stuff.
As for your question, I've got the ThermoSonic ThermoEngine that is anodized black and possibly upgrade the 5500rpm fan to a 7?00rpm Pabst fan.
Wusy-
You should be careful about giving advice when you don’t know first hand, or at least have a lot of experience. I know you have read this all over the site so you feel that you know what’s up but I am not sure about claiming that every B t-bird will run at @133 mhz. Yes they should but it might require a lot of time and tweaking more so than a newbie would want to do right off the bat anyway. I am not trying to hate on a brother or nothing just saying that should not give newbies a false sense of security that’s all.

You are right it does depend to cooling and the amount you want to mess with you CPU if you want plug n play and 133fsb get a C if you want to save $10 and mess around for 10hrs get a B.

I have a fop32 lapped with AS2 on a t-bird 1gig@1.2@42*c and love it. I highly recommend that HSF so tell everyone to buy it because it's only $20 so it has the best price/performance ratio.
