that IS hard to understand...

I'm gonna get a replacement mobo for my old A7V, and it's gonna be A7V133(let's see how well it performes with my 800Mhz tbird) (don't ask why). With my old mobo if I set bus higher that 100Mhz - the RAM speed increases and I have crappy RAM and can't o'clock it. I hear that it's different with A7V133 and I don't have to change RAM clock. So how can I do that? For better performce do I want multiplier of 6 and bus at 133Mhz or multiplier of 8 and bus at 100Mhz? (I feel like choice #1 is faster). I couldn't o'clock my CPU with old mobo higher than 850Mhz (from 800Mhz), can I reach 1Ghz with A7V133? (I need my RAM be set at 133Mhz though...) I can set 8x125=1000Mhz, but won' that affect RAM?? Also what temperature should be max if I o'clock to 1Ghz? 60 degrees is ceclius? I have a massive heatsink and a small (pretty good though) fan and my temp was around 45 degrees. Please, help!
Thank, you.

the a7v133 like all KT133A boards works on a synchronous/asyncronus system.

the ram speed IS tied into the FSB speed, but the ratios can be altered... e.g.
your ram & fsb can both be set the same to either 100 or 133, OR one can be set to 100 and the other to 133, doesnt matter which.

so if you have crap ram you could go for the FSB of 133 with ram set at 100.
when u increase one the other increases by a same amount.
100 & 133 mem
101 & 134 mem
102 & 135 mem
::: : ::: :::
this continues all the way up to 120. when u set the fsb to 120 the ram is also set the same and the PCI divider goes to 4.
