I have a Gigabyte GA-7ZX motherboard with the Via KT133 chipset.
This is supposed to be 100/133 MHz Bus speed

The Manual suggests that one can change the speed to 133 MHz ? it appears to be set to 100 MHz at present, which looks as if it?s the default. (on,off,on,on). The settings for the 133 seem to be (on, on, on, on,)

Questions:
1 Can I increase the speed?
2 Will it improve performance?
3 Are there any dangers with changing the dipswitches to enable 133?


TIA

Ron

34961 2002-02-09 02:46:00 depends on cpu and ram. if both are 133 then go for it. but i doubt that your cpu is 133fsb otherwise you would have noticed the cpu speed being a lot lower than its ment to be.

increasing fsb over what your cpu is desighned to run is overclocking so overclocking 'rules' apply.
