I just got my 1.33Ghz -Tbird AYHJA Y stepping cpu today. Just finished installing it and I only got it to 1.53Ghz (11.5x133). Higher FSB's didn't seem to work to good either.
I heard that the newer KT7a-Raid mobos can overclock higher than the older one. Some call it Rev. 2
Guess I have to live with it until the Abit KG7-Raid comes out.
Has to be the mobo
that suks.
Just wait for a nice dual board to come out and snap that up along with a secodn chip and that outa quench your thirst for ANYTHING for a while.

I don't know Greg. This dude has "it" bad !! :lol
Kazer Sozay, I had a KT7A and that thing had a hard time doin' over 137 FSB. It kind of struck me as ironic insofar as the KT7A had a fan on the chipset too. Then I get the Iwill (no fan) Kk266R and that thing is ringing up FSB speeds in excess of 160. Go figure.

hehe, I do sorta have an upgrading bug in me
nexus_7, dualies would be sweet.
VidmanII, I might just change to Kk266R. Will I be able to transfer my raiding hd's safely onto the Iwill board ? Just read this while looking for reviews on the KK266R "Planning for the future, Iwill has implemented a three-phase power design on the KK266, which guarantees (in theory) enough current for higher speeds Athlon processors, up to 1.5GHz or higher"
Do you guys think it's worth it to move onto the Iwill board now or wait until whenever the damn Abit KG7-Raid appears ??

Iwill uses a different RAID controller ( AMI 100) than the KT7A ( Hi-Point 370) so it might not transfer without having to do a reformat. If you're planning on going DDR in the near future, you prolly should just wait a couple weeks as there will prolly be more AMD 761 based mobos being released. I personally, would wait for rev.2 of ANY of the AMD 761 boards before I jumped in. KT7A is a good board to have in the meantime. It's not like it's a dog or anything. 
I'm not planning to go to DDR until next year sometime in hopes that the mobos have reached a bit higher level of maturity. That's why I swapped into the KK266R. Seemed like it was the top performer of the KT133A group.

I don't plan on going DDR until it is more than a ten percent performance increase from PC133 SDRAM.
Just ordered 2 sticks of Tonicom PC160 SDRAM, ram heat spreaders, Iwill KK266R, Millenium Glacier all copper heatsink, Thermaltake Blue Orb & Adhesive thermal compound for mobo chipset.
If this doesn't help me overclock I'm giving up
