FSB, MULTIPLIER & DIVIDER HELP!!!
so people, this is my cpu and mobo config: xp2000+ MSI kt3V (via kt333) actually my mobo can support up to amd 3000+, i've updated my bios to the latest version available already, before the bios upgrade the support was up to 2800+.

BTW, 2800+ or 3000+ are 333 fsb cpu right? so with a 333 fsb my mobo should set all the bus for the periferal at the right timing, right?
Here is the question, why when i rise the fsb up to 166 x 2, my sistem is running out of spec? (ex. agp@84Mhz)
My mobo chipset is:
Northbridge: KT333
Southbridge: VT8235

This suggests that your motherboard does not support 333FSB. Maybe your manufacturer has included support for it unofficially and expect you to use a PCI/AGP lock feature or simply have these overclocked.
Your AGP is running out of spec because at 166Mhz clock it cannot proberly multiply this number. At 133 you would need a 1/2 multiplier (or divider, if you like). At 166 is seems you are still using this 166*1/2=83Mhz when you really need a 2/5. Perhaps you can manually set this or there is a lock frequency (maintaining 33/66 PCI/AGP at all system clock frequencies).
I believe the 2800 is available at 266FSB and this is probably true for 3000 as well. Perhaps it is these CPUs that have been given support in the BIOS update.
