    Post GF 256, GF2 MX series @89MHz . How long can it last?

    If installed FSB 133 MHz in ASUS P3B-f ( Intel 440 BX chipset ) , AGP bus would be @89MHz .
    Can Geforce 256 ASUS 32M , MX series run with no problem ?
    Please share your experience how long you have used the system . Thanks

    You should not have a problem with that. I was running my old BX at like 145-150FSB for a couple years. I had no problems.. Infact im still using that card.

    Ya most recent AGP cards will do 89 with no problems. Some will handle even 100. I think (but am not sure about this)that the nVidia cards will handle the higher AGP frequency best.

    I tested my gf256 at 105mhz bus speed, no problems...it's running at 85mhz. Been doing that for about 3 years with absolutely no problems.
