T-bird 900 at 133 fsb

[pat]

this one is a 100 fsb. If I unlock the chip, and bump the fsb at 133, lower the multiplier to have it running at around 900Mhz, Will this thing will be stable enough to use it with pc 2100 DDR memory? You think that stock cooling would suffice?

Thanks!

I ran a 900 t-bird for 2 years at 7.0x133=931 on an ecs k7s5a with no probs using pc2400 memory running at pc2100 speed and had no problems whatsoever. If your memory is good then by all means go for it. 33mhz in system bus is noticable.

do I have to unlock the chip in order to do that?

Mine was also 100fsb and yes it will be stable as long as the memory is of decent quality and stock cooling should be okay. In my opinion anything below 55 celcius is okay, anything above that and you are starting to walk a tight rope.
