+this Misha, you can can take a dive and plug in that Tualatin and hope for the best, or you can get yourself a cheap Coppermine Celeron like a 600Mhz with f.e 1.5 core voltage and see what happens when you start up.

When you have set the JEN jumper to MANUAL and the fsb dip switches to the setting for fsb 100 you should theoretically be able to change the voltage in the BIOS to see if at least that part works ok. These ASUS BIOS updates, for as far as I know, do not change options for voltage regulation but …

When the JEN is set to jumperfree the board will automatically set fsb and voltage according to the cpu that is installed. If you want to experiment you -have- to use the 'MANUAL' mode, thus you then have to set the fsb via the blue dipswitch (switches 7-10) on the board and then you should be able …

The voltage should not allow being changed via the BIOS when the 'JEN' jumper is set to Jumperfree. See page 20 of the manual. Maybe you should check out if the board + slotket behave correctly by running <1.8volt Coppermine cpu on that slotket before you install a Tualatin.

DOS allocates a data structure of appr. 100 bytes per letter in memory. If you are short on memory you should not use more letters than necessary - so for example lastdrive=F saves 2K.
