XP & FSB

[mwasher]

Was just hoping I could get a quick clarification here.

I just got an Athlon XP 1900+ (AGOGA) up and running on a Abit KX7-333R w/ Corsair XMS 2700 CL2 ram. I was toying around with BIOS settings (of course) and could not understand why the machine was not coming up when I raised the FSB even 1MHz above 133. I thought that it was possible to do this up to a point without unlocking the processor (as mine is not unlocked.) Am I wrong in that assumption? Must I unlock the processor to be able to raise the FSB even slightly, or am I missing something else?

I've got the same processor running at 142Mhz FSB which puts my processor up to 1704Mhz, but I'm running my processor voltage at 1.84v (CAUTION' make sure you have a high performance heatsink, not an El Cheapo to play with the processor voltage.)
