* the Asus Mobo. But you also don't need to do this with the P6/180 as Well, right now there is only one P6 as far as multiplier is concerned (180/200 are both 3x chips) so I don't even know why it's an issue here. But for some reason, Intel decided not to disable the 3.5x or 4x (has anyone used this?) multiplier settings. Real shame, too; if they didn't have to pretend that the PII is faster, they could have sold a P6-233 or P6-266 (officially). Apparently, they're fooling no one; recently the PII-233 (512K)'s price dipped below the P6-200 (256K) in the Silicon Valley. (I'm sure people who bought the PII-233 when they came out are very pleased. :> ) Satoshi
