Thanks. I don't see anything with a "S" in its number but both specs on the
boxes appear the same.
Pentium 4 Processor 3.0 (or3.2)Ghz 1.55v max System bus 800mhz, 512
l2-cache. PGA-478 Pkg.
On the 3.0 the version number is C30419-003 and on the 3.3 it is version
C30420-007.
On the Asus site they say that it should work with any bios but I updated to
the newest 1016 anyway.
The only thing that I can think is that the MB was version 1 and made about
1 year ago. Possible in spite of "specifications" it can't go that high.
I gave up and put the 3.0 back in and it booted up. The 3.2 is in an office
computer.
Thanks again
