I have an ASUS CUSL2 mobo with a P3 700mhz cpu, 256 pc133 RAM, When I set the ratio to 133:133:33 and the mhz to 133/133/33 it boots in safe mode at 466mhz. I tried bumping the voltage all the way up to 1.9v but it doesn't seem to help. I have also tried setting the ratio to 100:100:33 and the mhz to 130/130/45 and it boots to 910mhz but when I shut down the computer, the next time I start it up it starts at 701mhz. Am I missing another setting? Please HELP.
Thank you

Seems to be a quirk with the motherboard and im not sure what the fix was.

For what it's worth for anyone who might read this that has a similar problem. I found that by running ASUS-update (that came w/ the motherboard) I could upgrade my BIOS from 1001a to 1006a. It took care of the resetting itself to 701 MHz. It was also real simple to do. I just went online, ran the update, it installed the new version and took care of that problem. After running it at 910 MHz for a little bit I tried resetting the FSB to 133 and I'm now I can get up to 952 MHz with 1.85v.
Good Luck

Although I have personally never used this motherboard, I have heard/seen the same thing on this site.
