[Gllug] Server hardware settings

[Conrad Simon Jarrett]

Hi Fellowites Gllugites,

I am setting up a server with some fellow members this month but am a bit (or 
byte?) confused with the hardware settings on the motherboard:

The motherboard is an old SOYO, model “SY-6BA+IV” and is fitted with a Pentium 
II 400mhz slot 1 chip.

On start-up, the display says that the chip/board has been set to a 
“multiplier of 4.0” and runs the chip as a Pentium II 266mhz.

In BIOS it states the chip is a Pentium II 400mhz 66 (presumably the "66" is 
the speed setting for the Front Side Bus/FSB). I have reset the BIOS to 
Pentium II 400mhz 100 and saved settings, but still the display shows the 
lower 266mhz as the machine runs through POST and BIOS on start-up.

Do you know if this is a result of a jumper setting on the board or an old 
BIOS that needs updating, or could it be the CPU? (My guess is that it seems 
like it's a board setting.)

If it is the CPU, do you know if I would be able to use a Pentium III slot 1 
CPU on this board?

I've tried accessing the manuals on the SOYO website, but the url for the info 
does not work/has expired.

Anyone have any ideas where-else I could find a copy of the manuals or know 
the answers to the above?
