Well, finally got it. Couple of weird issues. #1, on a fresh xp install (and on a win2k install, not fresh), there is a "motherboard resource" that is not installed properly.. it says it's a duplicate device. any ideas?

#2, anyone get 166fsb running? I tried on my 2400+, but to no avail (10x-13x multiplier). i have not tried just upping the multiplier tho, will do after i copy all my stuff from the other comp... but just wondering if anyone could shed some light on it.

ah... 3 long yrs on a bx board finally over :)

yeah, my impatience has made me a ginny(<-yes, i can't spell) pig :)

on a side note, assuming i've installed my cpu properly, it's running load at 40C according to the asus probe (SK7 + 92mm zalman). load right now is folding.

1. Still running windows 2000, everything works great
2. For some reason, any config with 166 fsb doesn't post at all even though I supposedly have all the multiplier options. :confused:

I see I'm not alone in this...
