Hi,
Got this old machine:
mobo msi p4mam-v 533mhz cpu p4 2600 mhz.
I realized it was runing only 1300 mhz with fsb of 100mhz and multipier of 13.
I dont expect it to go upto 2600 mhz with this mobo buy I failed OC mobo more then 120 which got me to 120x13=1560mhz. a bit more and the computer won't boot and a bios reset is needed.
Any idea how to get the fsb to 133?

O.

Seems like a waste of a, ahem, "good" CPU. Your board is not only old but it's based on a crappy VIA chipset. If you increase the FSB above 112MHz, the PCI & AGP begin running way out of whack. You have to take the FSB directly to 133MHz. You're not overclocking so don't treat it that way. The board supports 133MHz (533MHz FSB) & the CPU supports 200MHz (800MHz FSB).
