I have an abit ST6 with the latest bios installed. My problems are these:

I can NOT use the 4:2:1 divisor at all. My system will not reboot if I enable it. I am using a celeron 1200 mhz cpu. I am able to run it at about 1450 mhz whith the 3:2:1 divisor, however that puts the pci bus and agp port out of spec and my harddrive does not like this at all.

I am able to run at about 1400 mhz stably with the 3:2:1 divisor, but with the 4:2:1 divisor I am not even able to get my system to post no matter what frequency I set :(

Is there something wrong with my mobo or are all 815 boards like this? Do I have to run at 133 mhz bus to be able to use the 4:2:1 divisor?

Secondly.. If I connect a external usb hub, the next time I reboot my system won't get past the post screen. It will just stop there until I unplug the usb hub. Then it will boot. The hub worked perfectly with my ASUS CUSL2 C mobo.

Does anyone have a clue about this? Abit won't answer.

Is this one of the Abits with the leaky cap problems? Probably not... but you might want to take a look at it and see if any of the capacitors are leaking a brown gunk onto the board.
