VIA’s KT133A Socket-A Chipset: AMD 760 Performance without DDR SDRAM

The Board

The KT133A board we used was the Soltek SL-75KAV-X that features the 686B Southbridge as well as clock multiplier control.  Soltek even provides a tiny handout that explains that the L1 bridges on your CPU must be connected in order for the multiplier adjustment features to work.  You can always visit our AMD Socket-A Overclocking Guide for detailed information on exactly how to do that as well as get other useful overclocking information.

The Soltek board would not work at 133MHz FSB with 2 x 128MB DIMMs, so we had to use a single 256MB stick from Corsair. Also, the board was not stable at FSB frequencies far above 133MHz so we could not do any overclocking tests.
