Check your switch setting and make sure that
sw's 1,6,7,8 are on.

Also, where did you get the board and/or cache
module?  What type of cache module is it, including
timing.  What type of SIMMs do you have?

I will be checking this board at 133MHz this
weekend and will let you know.

Well, with your data point, and the fact that I was able to reproduce the
problem on a separate 133MHz system, I've got a pretty good idea about what's
wrong.  I set my clock to 120MHz and everything was fine.  I ran a memory
test under DOS at 133MHz and it failed.  Looks like the external cache
on the Endeavor doesn't work at 133MHz.  The documentation that came with
the MB is pretty poor and I can't see any obvious jumpers, switches, or
BIOS options that might make it work.  If anyone has any ideas at this
point, let me know.  (yeah, I know, buy ASUS)
