Perhaps you didn't flash to the LATEST bios. Check which bios revision you are running, and make sure it is the very latest. Also remember to reset the defaults AFTER flashing, and then reset the settings to where they should be. A BH6 SHOULD properly recognize a PIII 500 as a PIII 500. I have a PIII 700 in mine that was recognized as such. Switched the FSB to 133, and now it recognizes it as a PIII 933.
