I noticed that with the latest BIOS on the SY-6BB V1.0, I can manually
set the FSB to 133. However, according to the documentation, there are
only two AGP dividers 1.0 (for 66) and 1.5 (for 100).

So, can I use a 133 chip (like the Katmai chips with a 133 FSB) on the
6BB V1.0, or was the 133 FSB setting in BIOS inadvertently left in by
Soyo, and not practically usable?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The 6BB uses a BX chipset - it only supports 66 & 100MHz with divisors of 1 & 1.5.... any other
speeds are overclocking only (in other words 133MHz is an overclocking speed). The only 133MHz FSB
PIII's are the "EB" Coppermine series and the 6BB doesn't support them (or any other Coppermine).
