Anyone used one with anything faster than the "supported" 2000+ XP?

    hi mate.

    1st off:

    http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/Motherboards/msi_kt3ultra.shtml

    a quote from that reveiw says:
    When it came to overclocking this system, we had a good overall experience, boosting the system performance by 11%.

    now they used and 1800xp to get to 2000xp speeds. now although it doesnt answer your question directly. however i would say if they could managed an 11% increase on the board from a cpu that could do about 20% on a good day.

    11% above stock reccomended should be easy!

    Genrally i would say 10% outta mobo specs should be easy as a rule of the thumb :)

    Jono

    msi released a newer bios for that board... ;)

    Model Version Size Platform BIOS BIOS Date Counter

    KT3_Ultra v. 5.7 489 kb AMD AMI BIOS 2/27/2003 1168
    1. This is AMI BIOS release.
    2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
    - Supports AMD Barton XP3000+ (FSB333) CPU (For KT3 Ultra2 Only).
    - Adds "CPU Halt Command Detection" item in the BIOS Setup.
    - Fixes ATI 8500 AGP card cannot be used.
    This BIOS is intended for MS-6380E PCB with KT266A & KT333 chipset ONLY. K7T266 Pro2-A & K7T266 Pro2-RU DO NOT use the same BIOS.
