I thought i would finally try overclocking my bus today just for fun, and i just went up in increments of 1 and kept going. I clocked my processor back to the normal 6.5 multiplier, then proceeded.

Ended up going up to 120, but that couldn't even load the bios screen. I ran sisoft memory benchmark at 118, saved the picture;then i tried to come here to post and ie froze. ALU-500 fpu-589 at 118. Currently I'm using 115 because 116 locked up during counter-strike, but 115 hasn't so far. I got a 3dmark200 score of 2856 at 115. Not that impressive but I only have a v3 3000 agp. i'm running mem at bus+pci clk, cas 3, 2-way interleave, only 128mb. Sisoft reports it as TI pc100 cas2 chips, but the chips say micron -8e or at least i thought they did?

using a duron 650 and kt7-raid btw with just the retail taisol duron fan
cpu-84f sys-66f

not as stable as i thought. after 5 runs of 3dmark the comp restarted. hopefully 110 will work.

on an amd chip, 115 is pretty good. I don't think I've seen many folks over 110.

It's not the RAM, it's that it's an AMD chip - they don't like higher FSB's like the Intels do.

112 was my max, but even then I still prefer around 105.
It's not the chips that don't like the FSB OC, it's the actual kt133 chipset.

I don't know about the KT7-RAID though I figure it has the same SoftMenu as my Abit KA7-100 but you can up the FSB without upping the bus of everything else. It's cool how they have it setup. They have several options:

<li>CPU Multiplier Factor
<li>CPU FSB/PCI Clock
<li>CPU FSB Plus (MHz)

The last one there is the magic one. Basically, it can go up in icrements of one to 28 so that you can run up to a FSB of 128 <b>without</b> messing with the PCI bus speed. So if you think you have a PCI card holding you back, you might try overclocking using that last feature (if you have not done so already)
