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
