Don't take any of the following as a gripe, I can't complain about 1GHz at 100DDR!
I've been reading all sorts of conflicting reports/articles on the current limitations of the kt133 DDR-FSB and how it rarely overclocks well or stabily. Some say the limitation is the chipset, a few blame memory, and others point at the current TBirds/Durons core frequency.
So the question; where's the weak link?
My own experience is with a Duron600 and 700 both on Asus A7Vs. One runs 128mbMushkinHP133ECC the other CorsairPC133. Both OC by multiplier to 1GHz+. I've gotten as high as 115fsb by castrating my memory in both wait states and speed and by dropping the cpu multiplier to 5.5. but I don't consider this acceptable when the systems run at 1GHz by multiplier alone.
So what do you think? Will 133Athlons be full speed on a kt133? Has anyone had better luck fsb-oc with CAS2PC150 memory? Or are the A7V's fsb settings crack induced wishfull thinking? Anyone gotta link with a clue?
