I did flash BIOS with Vcore set to 1,7v and it worked fine, could go as high as 1,9Volts. But in one of the atempts to reach higher speeds for my celeronII 566 it would't boot, so I had to reset CMOS, and then SURPRISE!!, the max voltage was set back to 1,7v. I wasn't pleased but though "well..flashing again with Vcore set to 1,7 would solve it..." NOPE. Then I flashed it to the earlier Bios version, and back to the SS version (latest) another time with Vcore set to 1,7 . Nothing changed. Can somebody tell me what point am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

There is a link to an article that explains how to change a resistor or two on any 440BX mainboard, in aid of increasing Vcc at www.overclockers.com .
 
Thanks a lot for your help.
I finally found out that you need to flash back to the NV bios, anterior to QN, and then reflash SS bios with 1,7 volts. I was flashing the old QN bios, but it seems it wasn't old enough. NV bios does recognize only PIII coperm. (it's the first one to suposedly do it) but it will boot in my BH6 rev 1.01 with a Cell 2, so I was able to flash it. This may help some one.
