There is *some* truth in what Bejing says. The BIOS does not properly
identify the chip. Motherboard Monitor shows 1.62v applied as Vcore,
whereas AMD recommends 1.45v for my chip. I say, I know what chip I
put in there and a .17v bump in Vcore is not unusual when overclocking
as I'm doing. Will it cause failure to come sooner? Maybe. Got my
eyes on a AMD64 system if it does but it's been rock solid for 6 months
now. Still runs the torture test of Prime95 with no errors. If you've
got those 2100's modded to give you equal to a 3000+ or better, that'll
work too! Hope you find something encouraging for the 266-D.
