You are correct the CPU Support web page does say 400 or 533, must be
misprint. You should always reseach more. The complete manual for the
board is also avalible on the web site and there on the first page in
big print says 400MHz support. Go back into the manual deeper and it
also shows a diagram of what each jumper is for. Another give away
would have been on page 11 of the manual where it asks you to mark
your cpu frequency, all listed are at 100MHz. Another dead give a way
is the lack of a PCI devider lock in the BIOS.
You can also run that 533Mhz cpu at 400Mhz. It won't give you the
speed it was to have but will let you run the board till you can get
the proper cpu for it. You could also squeez a little more out of it
by setting it above 400, but how far is dependant on your memory.
