It's meant to run at 1333 mhz! When you have it set to 266 by using
"set by spd" (Speed?-Presence- Detect), it really is providing the cpu with
fsb speed of half the 266, or 133 mhz. Your mult. of 10, when multiplied by
fsb of 133, gives real speed of 1333MHz-- or 1.33 ghz, which corresponds to
the cpu's spec's from the link you provided. Remember: **FSB X MULT =
MHZ**, or cpu speed. And if you have the proper mobo for the cpu, it should
be providing 133 fsb WITHOUT its being overclocked. Even if 133 is obtained
via mobo only in an o'clocked environment and you use mult set to 10, as
long as temps are ok, your cpu is designed to run there; hence no danger to
system. HTH, s
