AGP at 89 Mhz

[ck123]

Im going to oc my pc from 124 to 133 mhz fsb, but im worried about the agp speed of 89 mhz then. I have an asus p3b-f and a pIII 650. Im using 133 mhz Ram (Infineon). Is it important that my Hercules 3d Prophet ddr is running at 2x agp(mainboard specs) but supports 4x agp so that it has a max speed of 264 mhz?? So 2x agp and 89 mhz agp would be ok (180 mhz), or?

Should be ok.

It should work fine, I've run many systems under this configuration.

I'm still going to fill you in on a little computer math now. AGP1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x are all running 66MHz. So your card has a max speed of 66MHz. 89MHz is beyond the spec of your card, but fear not as I've been doing it for years on many systems without damage.

Yep.

It seems like every card since the GF2 Ultra has a divider in there or something for that magic 89. It has problems at 72 and 75, but 89 clears everything up.

Any luck w/ your P3B-F at 133? I have the P3B-F w/ a celeron II 850, 133 cas2 memory & can only get to 120 bus speed.

It's not because of your board, it's because your CPU can't go any faster. You're lucky to get it up to that speed.
