Abit VA-10 CPU voltage adjustment?

Looked around in BIOS and can't seem to find where to adjust this, This board seems to want to OC but I think the voltage is holding it back (1.65). I got 2 GHz out of my 2500+ at 181 FSB (x11) but I think it can go further. the mobo says 333 FSB so I am not sure how much beyond that I should try to push. Any thoughts?

    There are no adjustments in bios for vcore or memory on the VA-10, unfortunately. I even looked inside the bios to see if they had the options hidden, but no dice. As far as a pci/agp divisor for 200 fsb, I don't think the KM400 chipset used on this board has them, just for a 166 fsb. I used an older 2500 in my VA-10 which is multi unlocked and hard coded a 16 multi and 1.85v vcore on the proc itself. I presently have it running at a 145 fsb due to having pc2100 Crucial in it. It is rock solid at that speed though; no issues with the board. If I had to do it over again though, I would buy a board using the nf2 IGP instead of the KM400 chipset for the pci/agp lock on the nf2 chipset.

    I was thinking of getting a VA-10 motherboard to build a cheap system for resale, and running a Duron 1100 processor in it that I already have.

    Will the MB use that processor properly with the different bus speed ratings and all? The board says it'll support 333 but will it also do 200 / 266?

    I'm tryingt to do this cheaply. I could go buy a Sempron, but that defeats the purpose of building cheap and making a (small) profit.

    And what's this about not being able to adjust the CPU voltage and memory speed? Does that mean I can't change the FSB? If so, what can you do to overclock a VA-10? Change the multiplier and nothing else?
