You're saying that PC3700, when set to Auto, runs
at 333FSB? 'Cause my PC3200 runs at 400FSB when set
to Auto.

Yup.That's what I'm saying. I tried all different mem settings and so far it's
telling me it's running at 363.I have the overclock set to 218 FSB.It should be
telling me 436,right?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Are you running 3 sticks of ram? I could only get DDR 333 with 3 sticks.

and it is
running at 400.

The original bios(1.0) reported temps in the negative. It also had a few
features missing.

negative temps lol!
How much did it go up with newer bios?

I'm running 3200+ Newcastle with the VN120A19 BIOS (10-26-04) and it
fixed an incompatibility I had with a NEC 8x DVDRW and a 48x AOPEN CDRW,
but my CPU temp is +20C with any BIOS newer then 1.0 and Cool n Quite
still makes the PC lockup!, runs great otherwise.
