ok got a thunderbird question

here is a foot drager i am running a a7v133(rev?.?) and a 1.4 athlon
thunderbird core how much can i really get out of it
in say a kt880 board or a nforce board is there a trick to force it to 166
or 200 fsb
how about unlocking the upper multipliers or is it possible

this will be mostly a server..since there are ppl using P90s as a server this
cpu should b ok

unfortunately this old hardware has been all but forgotten
does OK for most things

You'll get as much out of it in the board you have as you will in any
other, but that's not going to be much more than the base 1400MHz.
If it's a C model (10.5x133), You can unlock the mutiplier by closing the
L1 bridges. That would give you access to multipliers up to 12.5x133MHz
for a speed of 1666MHz. But don't count on even getting close to that
speed. The cpu just doesn't have that much headroom.
If it's the B model, then you can just raise the default FSB of 100MHz
up to a max of 133MHz, but again, don't expect the cpu to operate anywhere
close to that.

More than sufficient with the right software.

It's probably close to as fast as the A64 I use clocked down to 800MHz
most of the time.
