BX-133 Video Guide

The Test

In order to test if a card performs correctly in a BX system set to 133 MHz FSB, we used an AOpen AX6BC Pro as a standard BX motherboard. The motherboard was equipped with 128MB of PC133 RAM manufactured by Mushkin. Next, using a Pentium III 733 E, we upped the FSB frequencies to 133 MHz first and then to 148 MHz (88 MHz and 98 MHz AGP bus speeds respectively). Stability tests for the video cards were then performed by looping Quake III Arena for a total of 15 minutes. A successful completion of a test was noted by a flawless run of Quake III Arena for this time period. This test was performed on a total of 27 video cards that would most likely be used for gaming in an overclocked BX-133 system.
