Hello,

I'm asking myself how to reach higher multipliers than the factory ones with and amd Thoroughbred-Core XP 2000+

I'm using an Abit KT7A rev 1.3. It supports the multiplier
"12,5/13" and "=>13" just to mention the last ones.
The XP 2000+ runs normaly at 133x12,5 = 1666MHz.

I always read about how to reach lower multiplier settings...
that's not what I'm looking for.
I want multiplier settings like 13,5 or 14.

Now it doesn't make any differences wether I choose 12,5/13 or >=13 -- I always get x12,5 (BTW I really don't know how to understand these 2 settings...)
I also tried the setting x12 and x5 (I think it wsa the lowest one, maybe it could also be x5,5).
All with the same result: the pc won't boot.
Then I always have to follow my personal method of "how to get things right again": pull out the xp - insert my old duron 900. enter the BIOS set the multiplier to x12,5/13 save and exit;
Turn off the pc fast, pull in the xp, clear the cmos and then it will start again and recognise my xp - BTW I do have the newest BIOS revision.

It's the point that now I'm running my xp at 145MHz x 12,5 = 1813MHz. Because my memory won't reach higer speed and want to higher the multiplier. But I really don't know how it can be done!

Thanks

Marco
