fsb200->266

[thePh@r@oh]

ok i got a duron 800Mhz that runs at fsb200 and i need it to run at 266 what can i do?

[John Prophet]

you mean you want to overclock it to 266??

the only problem with that is that you will be overclocking the ram and video card etc etc...it might not boot at 266

why not try it at, say, 220 (110)

Drop the multiplier and hope for the best.

Actually, most Duron 800's will reach 1000+MHz with little effort, so you might try bumping the motherboard straight to 133MHz (266 DDR) while applying a slight core voltage bump.

I ran my Duron 750 at 1100MHz undervolted to 1.45v for great number of months back in the day. The mid-range Duron models are great overclocking chips.

What motherboard are you using? If it has a latter generation chipset, the 133MHz FSB will properly divide the PCI and AGP buses.

the board only runs at 266 its for the rig in this threadhttp://www.techimo.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=107046
Im trying to save money and not have to buy a new CPU since i already have this one.

I would be very suprised if a motherboard with the KM266 chipset would not operate at 100MHz (200 DDR) through autodetection, as the chipset natively supports 100-133MHz (200-266 DDR) bus frequencies.

Have you attempted to locate a downloadable manual for the board?

the board is gonna be ASUS A7N-266 VM/AA

well i just went to asus website and according to the site it takes a 200fsb chip i just hope this chip still works.

You may have to double-check the jumpers when the board arrives, but it appears you are good to go.

Shouldn't be a problem. Most durons would run at 133mhz fsb with a bump in core voltage (I just used to pencil in all the voltage bridges and run it at 133 right away)
That board should support the FSB settings you need. Go for it
