        Hello All, I know this is offtopic & all . But the bloody asus
        site doesn't even carry anything like this trouble .
        And I'd like a really clueful -bunch- of people to poll this one.

        I have set the Freq.'s to things other than 100Mhz . But any
        attempt to set the divisor by the switches (yes I set the JEN
        jumper to disable) is fruitless . The whole thing that started
        this off is the my (brand new) memory appears to -not- be
        asus-PC100 compatible . I was getting -really- wierd hangs &
        oops & Gosh you name it its happened , including data corruption
        to a couple of files I had edited (in /etc/rc.d/ area) .
        Below is a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' & 'dmesg'
        Highest stable core Freq. is 83Mhz * 5.5 Divisor = 456.5Mhz
        (458 is what dmesg says.)

        Has anyone else gotten around this definate -bug- on this MB ?
        Any help much appreciated . JimL
