well theres a stick of pc133 and a stick of pc100 in it....
anyways, there is a jumper on the board that says 100MHZ/133MHZ, for the FSB obviously... but no matter what position it is in, it is running 100fsb. So i go in the bios and set 133FSB, and it will no longer boot.

let me see what that does...  nothing. still no boot

No im pretty far from there, but regardless i dont think i need help... im fairly experienced in this sort of stuff.... it is just simply refusing to run this chip. i admit it could be a dumb mistake, but i highly doubt it at this point in time after all the crap ive gone through trying to make it work. only thing i havent tried that i have thought of is the "Magic_Tuner" jumper, which i believe is a on/off setting for being able to change the voltage. so in that, im thinking that maybe the board isnt being given the correct stock voltage for a 1.33tbird, and the jumper could be on the wrong setting (i cant find a printed table on the board saying which setting is on/off).... so i was thinking maybe if its in the off position then it might need to be switched to be run with the fsb jumper set to 133. i plan on trying this soon, but right now i dont feel like messing with it because its been a pain in my side and with it running it puts me at ease lol :P

OK Film, I remember it now. That's the board that Mackanz had contributed to the cause. That's an original KT133 board, which won't run a 133 fsb(stupid Via crap!
 ) What you are going to have to do is mod the bridges on that proc from a 10 multi to a 12.5 multi and then overclock the fsb a bit. That board should be good for around a 112 fsb at least, so we have the potential of a possible overclock to 1400 MHz fairly easily. I'm presently searching THG for the multi list for Tbirds to see what bridges to blow/connect to get a 12.5 multi on it. I don't know what the bridges are for a 13 or 14 though, but THG has a pic showing the bridges for up to 12.5. The AZ11 doesn't have any way to adjust the multi's on the board; it will have to be done on the proc itself, but is doable. If you feel comfortable with hard coding a new multi on that board let me know and I'll help you out on blowing the bridges that need to be disconnected.Damn Via, when they released the original KT133 chipset, fixed it to where this chipset wouldn't be able to run past around 115 fsb max. It took the revised KT133A chipset to be able to run 133 and beyond.  It makes your job harder to get that 133 fsb Tbird up to speed but it can be done. If that board was the AZ11E, then you would have a dipswitch block on it that would let you choose a 12.5 multi after unlocking the proc too, but the original AZ11 didn't have the dipswitch block. I'm attaching a pic of all the multi's I scarfed from THG, in case you want to hard code the new multi.

i knew it! god damn this board was pissing me off so bad, and yeah i would try fsb incraments and it would definately die about 115 fsb! oh man thank you mud, i feel a little better!

You got it mm!
 That's exactly what I was going to say.I've modded bridges on a Spitfire Duron but cutting the bridges with an engraver, but it was real hard to do. I've never blown a bridge on a Tbird or Duron yet, but let me try it out as I have an old 600 Duron in a drawer here and see how it goes before you try that on the Tbird.
