There isn't a turbo button -- haven't had a case in a looong time
with one of those :-) I'll see if there's a cable inside the machine
that might want to hook up to connectors on the board though.

The motherboard is an Asus K7M -- there are jumpers, but they default
to being not used, and the motherboard/BIOS automatically detects and
sets the bus to 100Mhz. I tried changing it to 150 and got the message
"warning -- the CPU has been having [sic] overclocked!!!!"
The cache settings are all in an enabled looking state (I have a
choice between writetrhu and disabled). The ONLY thing I can see that
could be an issue is that the system does, in fact, want PC100 memory, and
all I've got are PC133s ... However, before I put the 133 in, it was using
PC100 and still tanked ...
wacky.
thanks!
