We're a little confused about the many possible
clock-setting combinations on the abit ka7 motherboard.

We have the following (in the Soft Bios setup):

        CPU Operatin Speed              700
        x - multiplier factor                   x7
        x - CPU FSB/PCI clock   100/33 MHz
        x - CPU FSB Plus (MHz)  0
        x - Speed Error Hold            disable

and

        DRAM Clock                              HCLK + PCICLK

This is for a 700 MHz Athlon, with PC133 memory.

Does this look right?

I'm assuming that the 100 MHz FSB setting above, and
the 200 MHz FSB speed for the Athlon are accounted
for by some x2 FSB clock multiplier implicitly built in
somewhere.  Is this his right?

Assuming the above is all okay and we want to experiment,
what would be some performance enhancing / overclocking
settings that might stand a good chance of working on the
abit board?

Thanks for your advice.
