I answered most of my own question I got it to work at stock speeds
from searching the web and found undocumented settings. Yay me. Gonna
put on some artic silver 5 and overclock it a bit should go well being
such a low voltage chip.

As far as overclocking go my most important question. Paul or
hopefully someone else can help me on this one. Does the FSB setting
just effect the memory which is fast and newer or the cards and hard
drives also on this board? I think I read yes (cards and hd) but it's
not like modern BIOS where you do it thru software just done via
jumper.

Like on my newer A7V333 the bios and FSB upper setting goes up with pci
bus. I can see it in the bios. Sucks to have that ratio and not
individually might make me choose less stable oc friendly board in the
future.

Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this issue of the FSB on this
board.

Thanks for any and all info appreciated.

Asus Germany used to be the source of some info, which was not hosted
on other sites. In order to make "uniform" sites, the old info
in German, was removed. This archive has a web page for TX97 users.

http://web.archive.org/web/20050205100125/www.asuscom.de/support/FAQ/faq003_p5cpu_supp3.htm

And the whole FAQ list is here:

In terms of bus clocks, the way I would figure it out, is find
the data*** for the clockgen. The clockgen in the motherboard
picture, looks to be the chip next to the FS0-FS1-FS2 jumpers,
and has 32 pins. The icst.com/pdf site has datasheets, but in
some cases Asus got them to make a custom part number, and for
those we are left to guess. (Custom part numbers were used to
try to prevent the manufacture of fake boards.)

But chances are, the settings in the faq003 above, should be
safe to use. For example, I would expect an 80MHz FSB, to have
a 40MHz PCI, but above 80MHz, like at 95MHz, a divider of 3
makes more sense, for a PCI of 32MHz or so.

Hello fellow ASUSers,

I'm trying to find the settings for a k6-2 333 for TX97-XE revision
3.03 says it is supported but no documentation for settings. So I need
settings for vcore for 2.2 and multiplier 5 both undocumented and tech
support had only the info I had from site so don't waste time looking
at ASUS site for manual to answer this question. Closest that is
documented is 2.1 or 2.5 vcore and 4.5 multiplier.

www.cpu-world.com says this chips voltage is 2.2 +/- .1 volt.

Using this box as a firewall with IPcop pretty cool but snort uses up a
lot of CPU resources when both interfaces are watched green and red
gets maxed out and internet speed will be doubling free of charge
sometime in near? future for Comcast users instead of price cut to
compete with DSL.

Well, thanks in advance to any replies or info that could help me.

Best Regards
