Why would you have probs with the FSB? It supports 100mhz/200FSB (Duron & Athlon), plus 133mhz/266FSB (AthlonXP). This link has your board specs:

Also, you might wanna look into installing one of the "overclocking" BIOS, such as the "Cheepoman" BIOS:

What? Your questions have been answered & links provided so that you can look for yourself.

(0.13µ) means 0.13-micron...it refers to the size of the CPU core, which in this case, is the Thorougbbred. The chart could have been labelled better, but it IS called "AMD Athlon XP CPU Support List".

The 133mhz column would be Palomino core CPUs, & the 133mhz(0.13µ) refers to Tbred core CPUs. So your board can except up to a 2100+ Palomino...or a 2600+ Tbred.
