Anyone having trouble posting 1.2 TB on a 133 FSB?

But my KT7a motherboard isnt giving me any stability @ 133/33 fsb.

All this 133 fsb support is hyped.

Though i must admit that im using win2k and it is not the most hardware friendly OS.

So what kind of memory are you using?? If it is not that great, even if it says pc133 does not mean that it will run at 133MHz stable, also is your cas set at 2 or 3, do you have turbo mode on for the memory, there are way to many factors to judge how good 133/33 is by just your board. I am running an athlon classic at 133 at cas2 and man I noticed the diffferance and to me it is worth it. And I am stable as hell. Just a note though if I put in my classic athlon 650 the comp is unstable on cas2 but fine on cas3. Play with the bios, up your I/O, you just might find your time will pay off.

750 Athlon Classic O\C to 1090MHz (going for the 1.1G)
Water cooled pelts
Abit KA7-100
256MB Micron Running at 133MHz cas 2
Voodoo5 5500
Kenwood 72x
Sound Blaster Live Gamer
Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 Digital Speaker System
Yamaha 8\4\24 Burner
And the list goes on

I haven't had any problems setting my CPU up with the 9x133 setting. If your computer is posting at 12x133 (or won't post because of this) then clear the CMOS by moving the little jumper (check the manual for the location) over for a few seconds and then back. It should boot up at 6x100 and then you can go into the BIOS and set it up at 9x133.

hey guys, i only have a small amount of time so i'll be brief (they do have computers in Pennsylvania).
I have 256MB of Crucial's 2-2-2 PC133 7.5ns, a TBird 1.1, and a KT7A-RAID with the Abit northbridge cooling. I did not have an OS installed, but I was able to get 310MHz FSB out of it, no problem. PCI devices are my Maxtor ATA/66 13.6GB 7200RPM drive, Hitachi GD5000 8x IDE DVD, HP 9300i 10x4x32x IDE CDRW. SB Live Value, Dxr2 DVD Decoder, 3Com 3CR990-TX-97 NIC w/ 3XP Processor. Once again I do not have an OS installed, but I was able to POST, and could boot to a bootable CD. Still, I could get 8 x 155 FSB out of it, with my taisol CKG with the 30CFM fan (40 celcius). That bastard sliced my right ring finger. OW! The blade went in deep too. Anyway, the point of this post was to say 266MHz FSB support for the KT133A is not at all hype. I can get 1240MHz out of it on a 310MHz FSB. Sure, it's only a 140MHz OC of the default core, but its a 110MHz OC of the front side bus.
