It has a derfault 11 multiplier and your FSB should be set to 166Mhz. You will need ram capable of PC2700 speeds to run in sync with the FSB. All said and done, you should be able to run it at 12.5x166. There are many people running Barton core AMD cpu's in KT333 chipset boards. No mods should be required, but you need PC2700 capable ram and a 5:2:1 bus divisor (should be setting in bios) to run a 166MHz FSB. A Google groups search for kt3 2500+ will also get you info that KT3 board will run a 2500+ - 3000+ Barton. There usually isn't a 5:2 ratio setting for 166FSB in the bios, it's typically an automatic function of setting the FSB to =160MHz. On the contrary, most of the KT333 chipset boards I've seen do have bios settings for the this. There may be some that don't though and I'm not sure about the MSI board since I didn't dl the manual for it. I have the manual. What is it exactly you want? Mainboard spec Chipset VIA KT333 -FSB @200/266/333MHz Clock Generator -100/133/166MHz clocks are supported Is that any help? Well, it tells you that it will support a 166MHz FSB. And that's all you need. The divisor, if it's not automatic, is usually called Ratio and has settings similar to 3:2:1, 4:2:1, and 5:2:1, for 100, 133, 166Mhz FSB respectively. This is how Abit refers to them on the KX7-333 board. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
