Hey everyone, will appreciate any help you can give me on this. Kind of a similar problem to tomtom, but I'm not having stability problems, just problems setting the FSB to read at 133 and thus register my Athlon to read at 1.33Ghz (currently reads at 1Ghz). Here is the set-up I put together (just last night):

Athlon 1.33Ghz with 266 FSB and Heatsink
iWill KK266 Motherboard
256 MB Crucial PC133 RAM (one stick)
Windows 98
Couple Maxtor HDs
CD, CDRW Drives
Leadtek WinFast GeForce 2 400MX 64MB

When I boot up it shows the processor at 1000Mhz and the FSB at 100Mhz. When I enter CMOS and go to the iWill SmartStep feature, it shows the clock speed at 100Mhz. I can change the clock speed, but only up to 132Mhz before it rolls back to 100Mhz. It won't let me get to 133Mhz. I haven't updated BIOS or anything yet, does anyone know if I need to for this board to accept at 133 FSB? Also, am I wrong to assume that's why it won't show the Athlon at 1.33Ghz instead of 1Ghz?

Thanks for your help!!

What you need to do is change the jumpers on the board to detect 133fsb, because the default is set to 100fsb. If you don't know where to locate the jumper, take a look at the manual (i can't remember off the top of my head).
