Yes, you do have to set the FSB with the jumpers.

You set the bus speed thru the BIOS- there are NO jumpers for the bus speed. I have this board. There are however jumpers for the multiplier.

thanks for the responses. here is where i am now: in the manual for the ka266, it shows 2 options for the cpu fsb speed setting. if you leave the jumper off(open) it says cpu 133/133mhz. if you leave the jumper on it says cpu 100/100mhz. i guess that whenever i see things like "ka266" this means 133 bus spee. is that right? why is the mobo called a 266, i think it can only run up to 133. im using 256mb of ddram, 1ghz athlon, iwill ka266. thanks for any additional input, i need the help and this on line community has helped me learn a ton!

The bus will go higher than 133mhz. Set it to 133mhz then go into the BIOS to make 1mhz adjustments.

The 266 is expressed in terms of DDR. The FSB bus of all athlon systems use a technology called DDR. It's doubles the bandwidth of the bus. It's really running at 133mhz, but has the bandwidth of a 266mhz FSB. Get it?

oops my bad!!

I misread the K<b>A</b>266...I have the K<b>K</b>266, and I had to set the jumpers to 133.
