Too much speed

Hello:
I recently purchased a P3 667 w/ 133 FSB. The thing is I just found out that the MB that I was about to put in in does not support thr 133 fsb natively. The MB is the ABIT BH6. Since the computer is for someone else I dont want to do any extreme tweaks ( such as tweaking voltage). Any suggestions will be appreciated. Cheers

Well, if you have a BX motherboard (which it probably is if it doesn't officially support 133), there might be a jumper combination or bios setting which will allow 133mhz bus. But be warned, you'll have to have pc133 ram, and your addin cards (agp, pci, isa) may behave funny, because since the BX chipset doesn't support 133 mhz, the pci will be running at almost twice the clock it's supposed to, same with the agp and isa cards.
Best bet is to exchange the motherboard for one of the newer chipset boards that officially supports 133. Otherwise, you are just playing with fire.

Hmm..
I think I'll just return the cpu. I am having a devil of a time hunting down a "slot based" MB w/ the right specs. I'll try to get a socket based MB-CPU combo from an online store. You can't go wrong then, heh. Cheers.
