I believe the PIII 600B runs at 133 normally but you have a couple of
problems with other components.  Your RAM might run that fast.  You won't
know until you try it.  You other problem is your video if you are running
an AGP video card.  The BE6-2 still runs the BX chipset which only allows
1/1 and 2/3 dividers for the AGP bus .  At 133 your AGP is at 89MHZ ,way
beyond the 66MHZ spec.  Still some video cards will do it.  My TNT2 ultra
won't go beyond 129MHZ.  In the next month Abit will be shipping their new
820 chipset motherboards which are configured to run at a 1/2 AGP bus.  One
version is going to accept SDRAM.  That would be your best configuration.
