Just curious as to what my CPU is capable of. I aslo hear the
multiplier is lock, true?
because I have tried just using the multiplier in bios with no effect.
I had to rasie the FSB to achieve greater CPU Clock Speed MHz
TIA

Should be able to get 2300MHz (11.5x200) out of it, and maybe more with
enough vcore. But why push it.

Did ASUS cure the maximum possible bus speed in the rev.1 boards (with a
bios update)? I recall the rev.1 boards could only do 166+ ... the rev.2
boards are 200+ capable (had mine up to 211).

Now that you mention it, I do recall a problem. I think the workaround was
to change the default FSB on the cpu to 133MHz and then you could get over
200MHz with it.
