Now.. I am sure some of you may have seen it.. BUT
273fsb (how's he get that??)..


He set the host clock to 273MHz from the default of 200. With older
chipsets, this wasn't possible because the PCI/agp buses weren't locked at
33/66MHz, so 273 on the old chipset would have given him pci/agp clock
rates of 45.5/91, at which the components couldn't work. Also earlier
chipsets were only spec'd for 800MHz on the HTT link (600 for nf3-150).
The newer chipsets have the new spec of 1000MHz. He also lowered the
multiplier from 10 to 9 and threw a lot of voltage at it. The board he
used had a lot of seperate control settings that might not be availible on
other boards.

I think that answers the original question, except it's not really called
a FSB any longer, but host clock.. And to be honest, I'm not sure if the
MHz numbers used to define the HTT link or really clock rates. I think
they are data rates with a MHz thrown behind them since they talk of being
2 way. I haven't looked into too much, except that with some/most boards,
changing the host clock also changes the HTT link, and you might notice
that it reports the HTT clock rate at 273MHz. Corrections welcome.:-)
