i have a p5a-b rev 1.03 (manual only lists up to 350 Mhz).
i bought a 500 mhz k6-2. when i looked at the multiplier settings, there were only two jumpers on the three sets of pins, so i tried 6x and 83 mhz bus. the bios (1.008) figured it out at 500 mhz, but i got a "windows protection
error-need to restart computer" and windows 95 (950 B) wouldn't load. the same thing happened at 3.5x100. i put it back to 3x100 and it loaded. has anyone been able to push that board up to 500? or is it windows?? any suggestions? i could try to find a third jumper and try 5x100.

Although I have a different mobo, I would try the 5x100 setting. My K6-2 500 won't boot at any setting other than 5x100.
