How high can I go?

[Sigma]

Running an Athlon-c 1.2gig@266, A7M266 mobo, Crucial PC2100 DDR ram. The multiplier on the A7M266 is set at 9x and cant be changed, can up the fsb in 1Mhz increments. Was wondering how high I can possibly get with my cpu?

what lengths are you prepared to go to?

Sorry - anyway - that will depend on the quality of your components and what you have on your PCI/AGP slots.

A safe bet is it will stabilise out 140-150 FSB, unless one of your PCI cards is cranky.

Make sure you have good cooling and when things get unstable, up the cpu voltage a notch. Monitor it closely and always test for 30 minutes at load to establish max temps. Try and keep it under 50 degrees for good overclocked stability.

Good luck - you should get between 1300 and 1350mhz, and if you are really lucky with your system 1400.

Oh yeah - before you get stuck with it - make sure you know how you are recovering your system if you set it too far and cannot post. The ASUS boards all have a trick to them to recover, and the KT133A can be a little cranky at times. Don't know about the 760 though...
