Re: "Since the system failed to run at even 95MHz, am I observing the FSB speed limit of Socket-7? Without the GTL bus found in Slot-I, Socket-7 would have a lot of trouble to run at 100MHz."

It is not necessary to have GTL to go to 100mhz and above. The AGP port runs at 133mhz and it's not GTL. What you need is a source synchronous clock, which the AGP has. It's too late to do that with Socket7 so it is probably at it's speed limit right now.
