Older pre MMX motherboards only offered 3.3v for the CPU voltage. There should be some silk screening on the board that specifies the jumpers for the FBS, choices were 50, 60 and 66MHz, another jumper block will specify the multiplier, options were usually 1.5 and 2.0. Just like modern motherboards, FBS x CPU ratio determines what speed the CPU will operate at, for a P100 that would be 2.0 and a 50MHz bus speed. If everything works fine at that speed, try overclocking it by using the 60MHz bus speed setting, that P100 will run at a blazing 120MHz.
