Re: Therefore, running the front side bus at 266MHz on the GA-7DXC is officially considered overclocking. For those of you who read our KT7A-RAID review, the GA-7DXC used was running at 266MHz (9.0x133).
From the same review.

It can work at a 33% overclock, though not reliably. That's better than 90% of Intel's products. Seen any P4s that could run with with 533MHz FSB?

You're getting pretty desperate, Paul. The 266FSB boards are out and the chips start shipping next week. We're about 2 months away from "overlap" - when the 266FSB, 1.3GHZ Athlons will be out and can be compared to the 1.3GHZ P4. It's a pretty natural comparison, isn't it? Every magazine and hardware website will be taking a look at that one. Remember what happened to Celeron sales when equivalent MHz Celerons were tested against other chips? Celeron sales took a dive into the dumpster, and the chips themselves soon followed. Nobody wants a junk CPU. Then Intel fixed the chip, and 6 months later Celeron sales started to pick up again. Is there a fix waiting for P4? Better hurry it up!
