Is it possible to add more mhz options in the fsb options?how can i do that?i have a p3 650mhz runing at 866mhz,133mhz fsb but i want to test at more mhz,thanks.

No options. 133 is the absolute maximum for the 440BX chipset, even the later ones. It was designed for 100MHz maximum so you already got a 33% overclock anyway

Maximum FSB for i440BX limited by AGP video and/or memory. For good DIMM sticks and videocards (which run at AGP higher 83MHz -> 100MHz and more) is real to work (with good stability) upto 150-155MHz FSB.
But clocker on your MB simpy not support FSB not more than 133MHz physically.
p.s. some P3-650 can overclocked upto 180MHz FSB and more (my record is 182MHz :) ), but for this requered Abit mobos on i440BX.

actually it only depends on the PLL (and on the quality of the chipset ofcourse ;)) which FSBs are available. if you really want to know what's supported get a datasheet on your PLL. all of the modern PLLs can be set via SMBus btw.
