HI! I have ms-6330 K7 Turbo motherboard and it came with 1ghz duron cpu. Ive changed that to 1800+, removed jumper, so it rund at 133. Then i increased fsb to 140, and win recognized it as a 1900+. iam just wondering what have people gotten out from this mobo? I probably have some cheap sdram memory in..but how much potential it may have?
And it doesent have a thermometer...so i wouldnt know the temps.

If you can't lock the PCI/AGP buses at their defaults of 33MHz/66MHz, the max safe FSB is 150MHz. PC133 usually maxs out between 140-145MHz, so you're pretty much at the end of the line. Make sure to run the CPU:DRAM at 1:1 ratio.

"Make sure to run the CPU:DRAM at 1:1 ratio."

How can i check that?

I tried setting it to 145 and it pretty much stalled at thr welcome screen

I disabled spectrum modulated and reduced fsb to 141...now it seems stable and xp recognizes it as a 2000+

edit: i checked cpuid and it shows that dram and fsb are running 1:1.

Latency is 6..i probably cant lock agp...no such thing in bios.
