I've recently purchased an AM133 motherboard, it's actually quite interesting because of the ISA slot, and I managed to start an Athlon XP 2400+ at 1500Mhz on this machine. The problem is of course that there is no manual, updated BIOS or even just the jumper settings for this board. I've managed to find some info here:

and a SINGLE reference in the entire web archive to the manual here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20021015212954/ht … port/manual.htm
(The link to the manual does not work)

On any other date the am133 is omitted. So my question would be, how to set the fsb to 133mhz, or this motherboard can only operate at 100? I found a jumper group on the motherboard that seems to set the fsb, bur for the lack of manual I can only try to experiment, I only managed to get it up to 115Mhz with an athlon xp 2200+.

Think of it like a cheap Abit KT7. It has a KT133 chipset that does not support 133fsb. It does support 133mhz sdram though.
The only way you can get higher speeds is to mod the cpu socket like I did, except I put in a switch so I can use lower multi's as well.

It looks like You will have to just play around with it when You get it and try and sort out what does what without any manual.
