Curious: assuming you checked it regularly, how long could you keep its
CMOS setting at 133fsb? I built a # of boxes w/that mobo, & all would fall
from 133 back to 100, regardless of board-version--and I feel sure I used
them all. Even tried the Pro-version AND the K7S6A both of which did the
same. They all would hold for only a couple of weeks, days, or hours.
BTW: nice gesture your giving it away. I've accepted many such gifts
and made quite a few built-from-leftovers boxes. [Be sure and give him the
cpu, also, so he can verify the board's being bad!?!]
Have a nice holiday season, kinda like Merry Christmas! sam
