Re: 166 FSB on 8KHA+ German Epox sites says 2800+ is possible

I was running the mobo at 167MHz FSB for over 5 months overclockin a 1700+
Tbred B at 12.5x167 2083MHz.I have bought now a 8RGA+ since i wanted to go
higher than 167MHz FSB and on the 8KHA+ you are running an 41.6MHz PCI at
167MHz FSB.Lower in BIOS to UDMA66 and set PCI Latency to 64 in and you
should not have any problems.(=harddrive corruption due to high PCI bus)
