Ok, so what's the deal with MSI boards? You have to use jumpers to change FSB???

I just read the review over at Anand's and it says you have to use jumpers to change FSB. What's that all about??!?

Thats on the new K7T Turbo. If I remember correctly, its to change from 66-100 then from 101-133 or something of the like. Dont remember exactly. Its kinda like the ABIT boards where you can change the FSB via the BIOS only to go from within these specific FSB groupings. In other words, from 66-100 you can change FSB from within the BIOS. Then to go over 100FSB you must change the jumper, then are able to change the FSB from within the BIOS.

Actually, if you read correctly, it's a like this... There is ONE jumper that control which set of fsb you will be using. if you want 100-132mhz fsb only, you use leave at default, if you want 133-166mhz fsb only, you just move it once, and you will have access to 133-166mhz fsb only. All the fsb is still choosen via the bios.

So you will only encounter this "trouble" if you have to play with fsb speed near the 132-133mhz mark.

Ah ok, that's no so bad. Thought I was going to have to get the Abit instead cause that would have been a major pain in the a$$.
