The Cmos battery of my Asus A7v266EX keeps running out after every 2-3 months. I'm using AthlonXP 1800+ & WinXPPro
any suggestions what the problem could be?

I don't think there are any BIOS settings that would do that. My guess is you've got a bad motherboard with some sort of a voltage "leak" somewhere... somewhere where it doesn't cause the computer to malfunction when you're using it, but enought to drain the battery over time.

i had the same problem with an asus p5n e sli motherboard and i solved the problem by using an old mp3 player that had a rechargable 3.3 v li-ion battery and connected it instead of the original battery using the mp3 to charge it connected to the 5v usb on the mobo when the computer is on
so no more problem since then almost an year now
