I just bought the above board and would like to put a 166Mhz K5 on it. ASUS shows a bios upgrade from ~May this year that adds support (?) for this chip. Which leads to the following: 1. Why would this chip be any different than the 133 or lower. 2. If I install the chip, would I run into any trouble setting the board for 66Mhz/2.5x -- or should I set it up at lower speeds until I install the new bios? 3. The chip is marked as 3.52V and the MB jumper sets 3.4V-3.6V. Is this part of any problem? Any advice or experience is welcome. Also -- unrelated to above, this will be a SCSI system (ASUS S200). ATAPI CDROMS, though are cheap. Does anyone know of problems running a CDROM as the only device on the primary IDE bus? Thanks -- Jay
