Is there a jumper on this board to select between 100 and 133 FSB?

dont think so, all the overclocking adjustments can be done through the bios. That is, I didnt see any jumpers in the manual for that.

BTW what does it mean when it says CMOS Checksum Error?

Sounds like it means bad news. Can you flash the BIOS with an updated version?

By the way, how do you pronounce "<[o_0]>" -- "Tafkap"?

Ermm, if you have a 200 Athlon, then you shouldn't need to go to 133Mhz FSB, it should be set at 100Mhz FSB. So i'm guessing you've actually got a 266 Athlon.

Which chipset does your mobo use? If the chipset is KT133 then it wont actually go to the 133Mhz FSB, if you have a KT133A or better, then you shouldn't have any problems getting it to 133Mhz FSB.

Do you have the latest BIOS installed?

I am using an Asus A7V at home that has the KT133 chipset on it. The board becomes unstable at anything above 105fsb. With the Abit KT7 you might be able to get a little bit higher but not too much. You also said that you could not choose a higher multiplyer than 12.5. If you can get back into the BIOS, you should look into an upgrade for your BIOS. I had to upgrade mine to support the 1.3 and 1.4 TBirds. Even if you have a 1.33 TBird, you should still be able to run it at 1.3 on the 100FSB settings.

Happy Troubleshooting
