Ten, re:<Are you claiming that a 33% overclocked AGP 2x bus is faster than a non-overclocked AGP 4x?>In certain cases, yes Uh, no. 440BX does not have a 1/2 divider for AGP (or a 1/4 divider for PCI). All 440BX boards that run at 133 MHz must overclock AGP and PCI. But for those of you willing to try, settings above 124 are available with a 1/4 PCI ratio to keep things as close to spec as possible. That PCI speed is reported right next to the FSB speed in the BIOS. All settings are available with any CPU installed, but don't forget to set the AGP divider via the aforementioned jumper... At 133Mhz, all boards offered a PCI clock divider of /4 by default, or offered a choice of speed. A PCI /4 divider is very desirable for future proofing, as this keeps the PCI bus running at the speed it was intended - 33Mhz. At 150Mhz [FSB], most AGP cards will not function, even if an AGP clock of 2/3 is used.
