Sadly, the only voltage option for the CPU is to lower the voltage. The good news is that this CPU has more overclocking headroom at the default setting than any I've ever had. I'd have a grand old time if I had one of these with a motherboard that had voltage options for the CPU and the memory. I've hit the limit, but it's stable at this setting, verified by hours of playing Half-Life 2.

I'm not sure if this BIOS is newer than that. Probably not, but the added "bn" and the date are confusing.

The SL7SL I ordered finally arrived, but it won't run @ 133 even after I did load performance in the BIOS.

The settings in the BIOS are as below, what do you see on your system please?

Maybe I need the later BIOS.

I guess you will need to update the BIOS.

Have you tried a floppy disk with Awardflash and the BIOS I saved?

Not yet, I am concerned I may end up with a board that won't post and I don't think I could use my DediProg SF-100 to recover the situation.

These are some old screens of my CT-479 Build on a P4P 800 SE. At the time I wasn't trying to break any records, and hadn't pushed the system that hard. Pretty sure the 6800 is running stock clocks. If I had to guess its a bit faster than the 855 boards, becasue my CPU isn't clocked as much and my GPU isn't either. My ram timings are probably worst too and my results were better.
I have since replaced the useless 6800 GT OC with a FX 5900 XT in that rig becasue it does nothing for retro gaming. And defeats my whole purpose of wanting a AGP slot.

Your P4P has two significant advantages: dual channel memory and AGP 8x. Getting one of those 479 adapters (I already have a P4P) for a reasonable price would be great, too bad there's almost no chance of that happening.
