Hello Everyone,
Just got back from school where I've been dealing with a busted laptop. Dug up a system I had made way back in 2001 from my basement. Specs: Intel P4 1.4GHz, originally 128Mb PC-800 RDRAM (now 512Mb), nVidia GeForce2 64Mb, 120 Gb HD, GigaByte 8TX-C motherboard. Not a horrible set-up, but I have to make it useful over the summer.

Tried every Bios setting and program to increase FSB (no luck because of board), until I found a single article online; "The clock speed is chosen with DIP-switches. There are 4 FSB frequencies: 100, 105, 110 and 133 MHz." Each one worked and increased FSB MHz and thus the operating CPU MHz of the Pentium 4.

My Question: Is it safe to run the system clock at 133MHz (Board has 400 Mhz FSB)?

Thanks.

The fastest Socket 423 Willmatte CPU was 2.0Ghz. So going from 100x14 to 133x14 will be little difficult. I suggest you first try out 105 x 14, 110 x 14 if you can before jumping to 133 x 14... If you board can lock AGP/PCI to 66/33Mhz, then going to 133Mhz will be safe as long as the CPU does not throttle at full load...
