i have a QDI BrillianX 1S motherboard.it has a 440bx chipset and is currently running a pentium 2 400mhz processor.the board is jumperless and i can set the fsb in the bios.the fsb options are 100,112 and 133.does this mean i can run processors with an fsb of 133mhz? i want to upgrade the processor and i am not sure if i can. thanks.

Yes, you can run ALL PIII processors, including 133MHZ FSB units up to the 1000EB. The best value is to get a 700E and overclock it to 933 by raising the bus speed to 133. You'll need PC133 RAM. Make sure you look at <A HREF="http://www.qdigrp.com/qdisite/eng/support/d_bx1s.htm" target="_new">QDI'S BIOS PAGE FOR YOUR MOTHERBOARD</A> and get a recent one.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
