kt7-raid question

[mrtj]

how fast a cpu can this board handle? i have one (1ghz), and am wondering because of two things, the new athlons coming out (A4's) and the unrestricted athlons, axia's?
i heard you can oc these quite well, and some have them at 1.6? can my mobo handle these cpu's and how fast a cpu can it take?

I have a kt7A raid, has multipliers up to 12.5 , FSB is AT LEAST 150 im not sure if it goes higher- im @ work now, plus you can incrememnt the FSB by up to 30, one at a time independent of the pci/memory etc). so 12.5 x 150 = 1850 at least

The problem lies in the KT-133 chipset which is not usually stable beyond 110 mhz. (My KT7 won't go over 106 mhz). With a 12.5x multiplier you would be limited to 12.5 x 110 mhz or 1375 mhz, assuming you can get the processor to run at 12.5X. I'm hoping the Athlon 4 has a work-around for older motherboard owners, like the old K6-2 2X = 6X trick, (but I'm not holding my breath).
