I've been using an Asus P2-B since they first came out, and was extremely happy with it. I was able to use PC66, PC100, and PC133 on it all together and successfully overclock my PIII450 to 500. Rock stable, std cooling and voltage. But that motherboard was limited to a 112 MHz fsb, and since I wanted to eventually switch to a Coppermine, which it won't use, I just picked up a P3B-F. Disappointment abounds. I can't even get it to run any 3D game/benchmark at 500 MHz with only my PC133 MHz ram installed, even at higher voltage. It seems although I've upgraded, I've taken a step back. I thought it would at least be as stable as my P2B. Also, I liked the P2B keyboard power-on. I have this enabled in the P3B-F bios, with all the same hardware, but it doesn't work.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
