Does anyone know how to identify which motherboard I have? I know it's an Asus w/celeron 466, and I believe it's a socket 370, but my computer manufacturers site does not have this information and I cannot find it at the Asus site.

Get SiSoft Sandra ( http://www.sisoftware.demon.co.uk I think) and run the motherboard info test - should tell you lots about it :)

If you got an OEM mobo, you may have a difficult time identifying exactly wich Asus it is. I got a Hewlett Packard with an Asus mobo. Found between the first and second PCI slots the Asus id :P2B98-xv. HP had the boards custom built. Which means the effectively crippled it by installing a custom Bios chip that won't flash anything but an HP bios, removed the AGP slot and added an on board ATI AGP x 2 video chip with a crappy 4meg of memory. OEM boards are probably not good candidates for overclocking. I use "SOFTFSB" found at tweakfiles.com to OC my PII 350 to 398 without even opening the case.
Good Luck!
