I currently have a a7v333 and it doesnt seem to recognize my xp mobile 2600. I can only set the the voltage down to 1.575 and the multiplier only goes to 12.5. I want to just run it stock before I OC because of my current ram. I was just going to run it at 133*15, but I cannot do it. I have a stick of crucial 2100 256 and a pny 2100 256, so i wanted to run 1gb of ram just at 266fsb, i do a lot of autocad work, ram helps a lot. I do have a stick of 2700 512 kingston, so would running the chip at 166*12 be my best bet for now with just the stick of kingston.. Or should I get a new motherboard and run it at 133 then eventually OC. I still dont like that its at 1.575 when the base vcore is 1.45 though. But since the chip is a 266fsb, It needs to be around 1.6 anyhow if I change it to 166*12, correct? I am new to overclocking, in college, and dont have much money. my dad just bought me this chip because he couldnt bare to buy my sister a new one that would be faster than my xp2000, so im giving that to her. So, I would like to here some suggestions, either clock speeds or new motherboards. . I am also running a volcano 7+ with arctic silver 5. and at the current rate of, 133*12.5, i am running 40deg C most likely due to the voltage. Thanks
 
Thinking of being in college and doing autocad while overclocked is humerous, but....I would siggest a shuttle AN35N ultra or Abit NF7_S if you want that higher multi @ 266 FSB.
 
do nto get shuttle AN35n ultra...it sucks it blew on me and took 2 HDD's a floppy drive a PSU and sumthing else.....

actually it didnt take a PSU.

You may have just had a bad board. I've built 8 of them and they all ran fine.NF7_S is great as well, actually better with MCP-T and SATA.
 
With 512M sticks of ram, you may need to set "CPC" off, and so either get NF7-S and use a CPC-off bios (lots of mod'd bios's available) or get the best board around these days... DFI Infinity and use the 6/19 bios (which has CPC user selectable)

The consensus is...lower FSB/high multiplier (high Vcore).....NF7-S

higher FSB/mid-lower multiplier (more normal Vcore).... DFI LPuB/Infinity

The reasons involve the designs of the respective Vcore and DDR voltage regluators onboard. So 200Mhz x13/14 on watercooling (2.0-2.1Vcore) NF7-S is recommended, 250Mhz x10 (1.8-1.9Vcore) the DFI's are recommended. The DFI's can do high Vcore with mod's, and the NF7-S can do high FSB with mod's, so they overlap but stock no mods... the above guidelines hold.
 
Yeah. Not too many people here want to be Vmodding their boards. I like the NF7-S but thats just me.
 
Why don't you just run it at 166 * 12.5 with that Kingston ram and sell the PC2100 and buy another stick of 2700? Hell, I'd buy a stick (dibs on the Crucial!). :) Sell them each for $30 and make a nice $60 while another Kingston 512 stick goes for around $80 on Newegg.
