Hey!
I'm switching to a Pentium 4 2.266GHz/533MHz and Asus P4B533-E. (Had enough of AMD( to f....... hot and noisy)I already have 2*256 CL2.5 PC333 TwinMOS sticks and I know they are capable of running at 166MHz.
So here's the question. Can the ASUS P4B533 run true FSB speeds at 166MHz? (Not just 4:5 133MHz) The board is able to run async PCI/AGP, so that 33/66MHz is fixed no matter what FSB speed it runs.
If it's possible I should be able to run 17*166MHz=2833MHz. Does anyone know if it possible? To me I can't see why it shouldn't, so have anyone tried it?

obviuosly no 1 knows or gives a f**k

Me> :evil: F**K you B**CH!!! :evil: What makes you think no1 give a F**K???

Well, anyway, I left AMD for good, and is running my new @ 17*170MHz=2890MHz 8)

So if any1 is thinking about switching to P4 Northwood, go for ASUS P4B533-E and Intel P4 2.266/533Mhz. You only have to replace your MoBo and CPU, and you are running the worlds best industry standard, and at tempatures on 30C, with no noise at all!

Me> Grow up man!!

no i wasnt saying it nastly i ment no 1 is anwsering u as i am getting the same mobo and cpu so wanted to know to...
but anyway get ya facts right and f**k u b**ch and gorw up child lolol this is u>> :o

Ohhhh and what heatsink/fan u using

>>>Chill Man

Hey dude!

Sorry 'bout that.. if you just had an email or ICQ, we could chat about it online. I hate discussing things over a forum... I'm using the cooler that was included the P4 box. The biggest and most silent cooler I've had

With my P4B266-E mem bus speed drops from 176 to 150mhz with fsb over 132mhz, this is most likely a ram divider kicking in at 133mhz
running it below this would probably be a 4/3 divider (ie 176mhz mem / 132mhz fsb)
as soon as you step up to 133mhz fsb, it knocks down the memory divider to the next step below.
