Just make sure your multiplier is set to 13 and your FSB is set to 133 (266Mhz for DDR).

Soon enough, Intel will make the i845s...imagine dual channel Sdram...*shudder*

Actually the multiplier is 13.5, but you don't need to worry about it. Leave all the motherbaord dip switch settings off and let the BIOS set it up automatically. It will go to 133MHz FSB and 13.5x multiplier (1800MHz core speed). You can overclock from there if you want.

That's right. You can make the same adjustments in the BIOS for OCing as you can with the motherboard jumpers / dip switches. Unless you've unlocked the CPU though, all you can really tweak are memory timings and the FSB speed. Once the CPU is unlocked you can adjust the multiplier as well.

There ARE some things you can only do with jumpers on the motherboard, but they are stand alone items - you leave the board in jumperless mode, control almost everything from the BIOS, but if you need to adjust your memory voltage, disable the RAID controller, or a couple of other things, you do that with jumpers.
