MSI K7T Pro2 133 FSB?!?!?

[Guest]

OK, here is something I need help with... I was looking up the specs on the Pro2 and Pro2a on the msi website, and noticed something weird on the bios pages. In the bios history for the Pro2, version 1.7 of the bios notes that it adds support for 'AMD k7 133 FSB cpus'. Is this true?!? I know that you can adjust the fsb from 100 to 166 in 1Mhz increments, but I was under the impression that anything near 133 would make the board crash. Could this board support 133Mhz cpu's? I thought via had a revised KT133a chipset to handle this. I also noticed that the Pro2a had no mention of support for 133fsb cpus on its bios page, but I believe it should anyhow. Below are the links to the two bios pages.

Comments are appreciated,

Well, I just answered my own question... I emailed msi yesterday, and recieved their prompt reply this morning in my mailbox. This was impressive in itself, and should be noted... Anyhow, the tech support person replied that the board would support 133MHz cpus, but underclocked to 100MHz... That kind of sucks! Oh well, can't win them all. Maybe I will wait for the new chipsets to come out.
