<p>The latest BIOS of the KK266 has loads of features that are easily tweakable.
My Micron memory is running fine at the fastest setting of course.<p>

<p> For testing, I'm using an 800mhz Duron running at 6x133mhz. I only have the
standard CPU fan. Well, to tell you the truth, I was using the standard Intel
fan. Well, the Intel fan wouldn't cut it even at default speed. But both suck
equally for overclocking so I won't be doing it. I will say this though, I had
my 750mhz Duron AKCA up to 980Mhz at 140mhz FSB, that was the highest it would
go on a restart. It warm booted fine at 1 GHZ into windows and ran fine, then
wouldn't boot properly the second time. I know I should be testing overclockability,
but I don't have the tools right not
. Don't sweat, I'll get them.<p>
For Stability, I ran SETI for a day. It didn't crash once at all. None of the benchmarks crashed it either. This board is a very stable board.
Test system config.
