I have an Asus P2-99 motherboard. It is old, but only being used for a Cstrike server, so it doesnt matter. Anyway, I bought a P3 600mhz on Ebay, not realizing the board only does up to 550mhz. But with the jumpers set for 6x100 it reports the CPU as 450mhz. I got the newest (although old) BIOS update but it does the same thing. Any idea how to at least get 550mhz?
thanks,

Are there any FSB (the 100 in 6x100) settings besides 66 and 100? 66x6=396 (really 400), but if you have other FSB settings, try bumping it up. 83 was pretty common on old boards, which could give you 500 mhz.
