I recently replaced my PII 350 100MHz CPU with an Intel PIII 533B 133MHz CPU.  My motherboard is a Tekram P6B40-A4X v1.04.  This Tekram board has the ability to to extend the bus clock from 100MHz to 103, 112, or 133.3 MHz "for internal test only."  If the clock speed is raised to 133.3MHz would the other components be damaged or have the operating life drastically shortened?  The video card is an ATI Xpert at Play 8Mb AGP w/TV out.  The two SDRAMS are PC100 64M and 128M.  I ran at 112 MHz for about 8 hours with no sign of instability or error detected.  I would like to go to 133 MHz if possible without buying PC133 SDRAMS.  If that is not possible, would continued operation at 112MHz be acceptable?

Thanking you in advance,
James Baird
