I've just bough a K7S5A Pro mobo with AMD 2600+ cpu.

I've currently got the bios set at 133/133, but found that I can have
it set to 166/133. That sounds like it should work, but I've read some
posts which say that you can't run the 333 FSB 2600+ in this mobo,
only the 266 FSB version, so I'm a bit confused.

I've tried google and AMD for info, but nothing definitive.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers.

Gary.

Thanks for the link. Oh well, I guess I could try 166/133, but it'll
probably result in a black screen and having to reset cmos.

What do you reckon the equivalent speed it's currently running at? A
2400+ maybe?

Cheers.

Gary.

I would think so and really there's not much between that and 2600 in
real world terms.If it's stable then enjoy Smile

PS
Get the HoneyX BIOS and O/C to say 138/138 or 143/143 or 147/147 etc
until you can't go higher Smile

The 2600+ 166MHz FSB has a multiplier of 12.5, so at 133MHz FSB it will
run at 2000+ speed. (FSB x multiplier = CPU speed) <http://tinyurl.com/g74g>

If you have PC2700 memory, you could try SpeedFan
<http://www.almico.com/speedfan>. "Clock" tab, set up motherboard make
and model, and scroll down the listbox with speeds in it. Find the one
with "CPU: 166.7MHz" and "SDRAM: 166.7MHz" and set clock. It may lock up
if it doesn't like it though, so do it with not much else open. Also,
the hassle wouldn't be worth the increase in speed for most things, so
it's only worth doing it if you want to do something intensive.

Another way, as Shep has suggested, is to get an OC BIOS and run it at
150/150. This would get you slightly better than 2200+ speed, and would
be a lot less hassle.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Cheers - I'll look into that.

Thanks again.

Gary.

Great info - thanks.

I guess I should have done more research in this case. I normaly do,
but it seemed straightforward on the face of it. :O)
