That one installed without any hiccups, but I saw where the sign-on

was DDR333 dual channel ram. As the XP2800 athlon isn't rated for
DDR400, I backed into the bios and reset the fsb for 166 mhz which
should give me a 333
fsb. But it still says DDR400 at signon. So I guess we'll see if
its now stable at a 400 mhz fsb even if its set to 166/333.
Hmm, this sounds a lot like the BIOS insanity we saw on one cheapo
Chaintech board. We knew it was bad when the thing reported in its
boot display that the CPU was an "Intel Athlon". Things only got
worse from there; but sadly there was no BIOS update, and we ended up
throwing away the $35 board just on general principles :-D.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
