    ASUS A7N8X DX BIOS Setting Puzzlement

I am puzzled as to what the best settings should be in setting this up in the BIOS From what I understand, the 2400XP and PC2700 should support a 266Mhz bus speed. However, in the CPU speed selection area, I only...

    SPDIF connection

    My Creative Labs FPS2000 speakers have a stereo 1/8 mini jack to connect them to the SPDIF output of a SoundBlaster card. My Asus A7N8X DX motherboard has an RCA jack for SPDIF output. What do I need to do to connect these together? Would an RCA to mono minijack adaptor work?

    FSB Speeds with PC2100 memory

    I have just installed an Asus A7N8X DX (rev 2.0) motherboard, with BIOS 1002. The CPU is an AMD Athlon XP 2400+. The difficulty I am having is that my choices for CPU speed seem to be limited to 100, 133, 166, and 200. I thought PC2100 was capable of running on a 266 bus speed? Do I have to...
