clock multiplier for t-bird?

Just wondering, bought an 1. 3GHz 266mhz T-bird this weekend and popped it into an AOPen AK73Pro A mobo and on boot it posted 1000Mhz (10 x 100fsb) I'm wondering if this is normal that the multiplier is locked at 10 since it was intended for 133mhz fsb (10 x 133= 1.

Am I right on this? Should I just set the fsb on the mobo to 133mhz?

If your RAM is capapble of running at 133, then up the FSB.

If it's not, you'll need to up the multiplier instead. The chip probably is unlocked, but you'll need to check your motherboard to see how to increase it.

If you bought it as a 1.33ghz athlon then it is intended to run at 10x133. So just change the fsb to 133. You do need to make sure u have 133mhz memory though.

The 266 chips are generally unlocked. Both of my 1.2s were, and everyone I've spoken to who has other speeds of 266 chips say that they are factory unlocked.
