Hi, going to start building my new computer soon, and I'm confused about setting the clock speed, the frequency, the CPU I can figure out, but what should I set the PCI and AGP to on an Asus P4T533-C? I'll be using a P4 3.06 with HT, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, thanks for the help

I don't know that board but you must have some AUTO setup option in the Cmos or on the board no? Can also go to Asus site and get some info's there.

PCI is designed to run at 33mhz...AGP at 66mhz. I'm able to run my PCI at 37mhz & my AGP at 74mhz, any higher than that causes problems. Your results may be different.

I've been to the site, but they only show diagrams as HOW to set the speed. What I like to know is what speed I need to use. Now I know 33MHz for PCI and 66MHZ for AGP, can someone help with the CPU? Thanks again

and with a nforce2 motherboard you can get an easy 620fsb (155x23) witch equals 3.565ghz with a 3.06ghz just remember amd is always going to be better now that bartons have 512k cacheand that iv got my 2500 to 2.440ghz (i did a vdd mod to my asus a7n8x deluxe)
