7VM400M-RZ PROBLEM

I've just built a system around this board and I can't get it to recognise
the proper processor speed ( athlon xp 3000+ ) .
In the frequency/voltage part of the BIOS it won't let me change the CPU
clock to anything above 132mhz and that just makes it hang.
What CPU speed should I be using and how do I get the BIOS to let me?
Any help would be appreciated
Doug

Looks to me like you have to set the CPU Host Clock Control to enable and
set the CPU Clock to to 133MHz.

Not wanting to be nasty..... After asking the NG for help, and now
finding the problem, maybe it would be good manners to post the solution.
That way other people may also be helped.

Sorry about that, there was one jumper on the mobo (jp1) which was closed
(100mhz) so I opened it to set the frequency to 133 mhz and voila.
