Can Athlon 266 FSB's happily run at 200 FSB?

Can Athlon 266 MHz happily run at 100 FSB?

Rather than the 133 FSB they're designd to.



Just I'm having problems running a motherboard at the higher FSB, so is it OK to leave it 'Underclocking'?

you mean 133mhz fsb athlons prehaps...... ?

CPU - AMD Socket A (266MHZ)

with an FSB of 133.

133 = 266DDR

yes its fine to underclock them, you will loose some performace though.

Up the multi if you can to compensate.

I ran an Athlon 1.4GHz (266MHz FSB) CPU at 10.5x100MHz for ages. It'll run no probs, but won't be as fast.

if its heat your worried about you can also undervolt the chip - my old TBird 1.2 will run all year at 1.45v!

*edit* doh! just read your underclocking cos of your mobos speed. Ahh well, still a handy tip
