Milo, Re: KK266 jumperless? I thought there was a single jumper to select between 100-132MHz and 133+MHz FSB? From Anand's review of the problem: "We used two KT133A motherboards that have the 100/133 jumper, the EPoX 8KTA3 and the Iwill KK266, as our test beds. With the jumper in the 100MHz position the systems booted up at 800MHz without any problem. We then lowered the multiplier ratio to 6 and the systems booted up at 600MHz without a hitch as well. However, when we then shut down the systems and changed the jumper to 133MHz, both systems failed to POST, despite the fact that the CPU should run fine at 6 x 133MHz = 800MHz. What’s going on here? Overclocking the FSB of a CPU has never been limited by the CPU itself, but rather by the chipset or multiplier associated with the CPU." anandtech.com Regardless, I just ordered a KK266 from Newegg -- was tempted by the KK266R but decided I really don't need high disk performance or 8 IDE devices. I also hope to add an AXIA 266FSB T-Bird to the system soon anyway... ;-) but my Duron 600 will run at 6x133 (800) just fine before the Bios loads and the OC of the day settings become effective. -PT
