The latest BIOS updates only the Lan and Sound drives so i doubt that would help me set the FSB. Right now i cannot change my FSB setting, it's stuck at 100mhz, It's suppose to be running at 1.5ghz but is only running at 1.15ghz. I've looked through the forums for about an hour now and can't really find anything. I read about a dipswitch or jumper that can be changed but i have no idea what it looks like.

Did you look in your manual?
Open your case & look at your motherboard...in the lower right side, near the coin battery find the pins labeled JP2. If the cap is on pins 1-2, it's set for 100mhz...if it's on 2-3, it's set for 133mhz

I had the 841L and I recall changing the cpu clock would automatically change the FSB, I think. They were definitely connected in some way. The board is now a collection of key-rings so I cant check any more.

Summary: Hi I have a KT7-RAID with an Athlon XP 1700+ and 1Gb PC133 SDRAM...but I can't set the FSB to more than 103Mhz, so I can't run the Athlon at even its normal speed (should be 11 x 133mhz I think). If I...
Summary: I have a Duron 850 and an ECS K7VZA mobo. Since the board can't change the multiplier, I figured I would lower the multiplier with bridge manipulation (no cutting required) and tell the board to use a...
