My board is a Revision 2... but there was no pretty sticker on it that said 400 Mhz FSB ready... and I can't set the external frequency higher than 211 Mhz... wonder if just a BIOS revision make mine 400 Mhz FSB ready?

211MHz frequency = 422MHz frontside bus. All that "400MHz ready" means is that if you stick in a 400MHz bus processor, it will be automatically recognized. They'll certainly have a BIOS update for the original board to allow that. Everything in the new board can be done with the old one with a new BIOS version, the new board is just tested and optimized for faster operation and to fix quirks from the first one.
