1/5 PCI divider?

Is there any motherboard that supports a 1/5 PCI divider? I have an 866 P!!! that easily overclocks to the 166 FSB with 3-2-2 mem settings. However, I am not too thrilled with running the PCI at 41 Mhz. That is too out of spec. I am hoping that--with the new PC166--motherboard manufactures will put this into their bios. Any takers on this?

NOPE, won't happen in the forseeable future. Intel has a max 133MHz bus with the PIII and 100 (x4) bus on the P4. Intel is pushing for 400MHz DDR for the P4 in the future, but we are talking the DISTANT future, and that will be a base setting, meaning that overclocking from there will still leave you in the same situation. VIA, SiS, and ALi usually follow Intel.
