Update: Hardly 24H aprés that we announced the probléme to Asus, a new BIOS (the 05/05/2003) was provided to us by division BIOS of Asus Taiwan! This one should be available tomorrow on waiters ftp of Asus dice! It acts in fact of the revision 1006 Beta 003 which makes like principal innovation the correction of the bug of the 166-199 MHz. Aprés tests, it avére that indeed, the problem from now on is regulated. Officially, it is however about a bug... Though it is, the problem is regulated is the P4C800 becomes again of the blow trés interessante for the large overclocking with P4 FSB533. Moreover, VCore max passes now from 1.7 Volts to 1.95 Volts! Let us greet the reactivity of Asus here... Some screenshots:

You might want to post this in the main P4C800 thread.

Forgive me I'm a newbie at computer hardware... I'm just trying to understand, what exactly is the FSB hole? Here is what I mean:

Asus came out with the board with the 875P chipset, and they support 800mhz FSB right? Ok... so I would assume that they would run at 800mhz FSB and everything right? But then I hear all this stuff about not being able to POST at 166-199. I know they are backwards compatible with 533/400 FSB processors, so I think my question is do you have to tell the board what processor you are trying to run when you set it up? I only ask this because I am planning on building an 875P system soon, and I would like to stick a 3.0C in there (800mhz FSB) so am I going to have problems when I try to set this system up? I am really kinda confused on this..... thanks for the help.
