Guys,

I just bought an Epox 8KTA3+ from ebay (not 8KA3, which has FSB 333), but it wasn't sold without the documentation. When I went to Epox support page, they don't have the docs for the particular model either.

All I know is that 8KTA3+ is an FSB 133 Mobo. So what is the highest MD CPU supported? A friend told me the FSB can be overclocked to 266, and the highest CPU (on that condition) is Palomino 2100+.

How about T-Bred? Can I put a Thoroughbred on that Mobo?

Well the reason I bought the Mobo is because it has ISA slot. I plan to uild a DOS-legacy system on it. Imagine pure DOS games running on Palomino 2100+.....

Thanks,

this overclocking website has an article on that particular motherboard you might find useful. says they were able to overclock a chip up to 1.5ghz, so i'm guessing it's a fairly old mobo.

Ahh, a VIA KT133 based motherboard. Haven't dealt with one of those in a while, but I am thinking the fastest modern processor you'd want to run on it would be an Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53 GHz core clock speed, 266 MHz FSB.) I think it will be pretty difficult to get that chipset to go faster before you run into trouble.
