Hi, Ive got a Coppermine 750mhz running with 100fsb. However Im just about to get a new mobo that will run upto 133fsb. Are all cumines designed to withstand upto 133fsb, and if not whats the likelihood of me getting it upto 133 (1GHZ 😀)? Also will I need voltage modifications?


If all else fails, Go further :)
 
You will likely need voltage changes. Your chances are dependent on the core revision and sheer luck, the early cores toped out around 980MHz, just short of the 1GHz you would get to. Later cores did better. I prefer the BX chipset, even though you will also overclock the AGP at the 133MHz setting. www.surpluscomputers.com caries the Asus CUBX board which is top rated and cost under $50.
