General Comments
I have ga-7vrx, amd ath 1800+ t-bred(1.53ghz), and samsung 512mb pc2700 ram. Regardless of multiplier setting(on board) I could not speed up the fsb anywhere near 166 without serious problems ie no post no boot no restart etc. Therefore my pc2700 ram capable of 333mhz must run at 266 and my cpu can only be bumped up to 2000+(1.67ghz) (using just the multiplier set at 12.5). Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of KT333(duh). Also there is major system instability when running the ram at CL2 so had to revert back to CL2.5. Basicly unless you want to run everything at some default (slow) setting then you will eventually run into trouble.
Bottom line is this board will be replaced with one more capable of unlocking the true potential of my cpu and ram not to mention live up to its own specs. :(
