Surprise w/XP2K & K7VTA3.

I bo't a cheap, new, cpu-mobo-combo on Ebay to build a simple system.
Cpu was an XP2000+, Thorton core. Went together as sweet as you'd ask,
using WinXP Corp. Then I decided to tinker a tad(I know one shouldn't
tinker w/such a simple system!) , but I incrementally upped the fsb from 133
to finally 164.
Should I be surprised to see it run happily at 164X12.5= 2050? Well, I
was. I have only a little experience at this, but I'm gonna try for a tad
faster later tonight. Should I expect it to do more with only fsb
alterations? Anything else I can do to help out using this mobo & 256mg of
generic, PC2700 DDR?
Thx for all opinions, sdlomi

If you got it to 164MHz FSB without raising vcore, you can probably get a
lot more out of it by raising vcore a little.

169 will yield you a nice 2200MHz

Hi:

I'm surprised you can do what you have done with a K7VTA3.

I have a K7VTA3 Rev 3 PCB 3.1 and an AthlonXP 2100+. Mine will not even do
the 150 MHz selection stable (tried before with my 1800+ as well). It can't
even complete a boot into WinXP. I even used the socket pin mod to up the
voltage to 1.8v and it will boot, but is not stable.

How did you get a "164" setting? The default BIOS only allows set
frequencies (no 1MHz increments). I'm not in the BIOS right now of course
but aren't they something like133, 140, 150, etc?

Bye, Rick

Hi, Rick. There are 3 settings on mobo via jumpers--100, 133, & 166.
I just set jumpers on mobo to 133, and then upped fsb in bios, by
1mhz-steps, to 164. HTH & thx for your comments. s
