I wasn't thinking about overclocking... I looked at

The issue on some KT333 boards, possibly that one also, is that at
166MHz (DDR333) FSB, the AGP is out of spec at 83MHz. This is not
"necessarily" a problem. If it were me, I'd buy the CPU, try it in
your present board. If you're expecting to play 3D games then run
them, see if your video card is happy at 83MHz... most are.
