I have the same board! I just installed a 2500 (333)had a 2000 with no problems but ran into problems with this one, memory worked fine at 333 with the 2000!

The problem seems to be related to memory and will not boot! after

DEFAULT in settings by pulling CMOS and resetting! It works fine then,but as soon as you set the memory to 166 (333) it refuses to restart!

The fix(for now) I found if you SHUT DOWN and wait a min or two then turn on,it will boot right up,has not been a problem!except for the non reboot it works fine!

From what I,ve gleaned from others this is not a random problem and not just one MB, I think it can be fixed with a new BIOS,being a new board and with the BARTON CPU,s just starting to get into boards,some tweeking needs to be done with the BIOS!

Using XP 2700+ (333), 1GB ram, 6 x 120GB HDD, ATI 9700 PRO

All seems to go OK when started, but sometimes takes 10 or 12 resets to it started

I have this board and have seen the same problem when trying to run PC3200 RAM with 333 FSB processors. I believe Abit mentions this on their site, but I haven't found it yet.
