I'm not sure what to set the core CPU speed to. I have a MS-6330 motherboard with Award BIOS. It runs from 5-12.5. They said in the manual that 100 X 7 =700 MHz. Since I have a 1.33 GHz Athlon wouldn't that speed be set to 10 since I have a 133 FSB? Right now it is set to default. Anybody know? My voltage is also set to 3.3 volts.

This is what AMD said:

Below are the specs for this processor.

Core voltage: 1.75
Bus Speed: 133
Clock Multiplier: 10

Should I change the voltage to 1.75? Is there an advantage to the lower voltage?
 
Well gee. Thanks for all of the informed responses. Took AMD's advice and all is well.
