I have a MSI KT7 266 Pro 2 Motherboard, and I can't get the FSB speed to get over 133. Whats the deal? The Athlon 1.4 Tbird is a 266 FSB chip! Can anyone answer? I'm an idiot about that part of PC's.

FSB 266 means that the Throughput is doubled because of the use of DDR Ram and the Athlon specific memory interface.
it depends what Ram Type you´re using if you want to overclock. NEVER buy cheap Noname DDR Rams because you cannot overclock them and they might say farewell if you try. The Speed of your PC depends on 2 Factors:
FSB and Multiplikator (11,5 x 133 = 1530 Mhz = Athlon XP1800)
If you crank up the FSB to 147 = 11,5 * 147 = 1690 Mhz = Athlon XP2000) No Deal with good cooling and decent Samsung or Infineon DDR
