CUSL2-C + Leadtek GF2 Ultra + 110fsb = 2x AGP??

Subject pretty much says it all. Any FSB setting higher than 107 forces my video card to run at 2x AGP instead of 4x. What am I doing wrong? I have the latest Intel i815 drivers installed, and I'm running the final 1003 mobo drivers as well.

I just picked up a CUSL2 today and think I've got the same problem. I also I'm running bios 1003 using a Leadtek GF2 GTS and FSB is set to 110. The bios says it's running 4X but WinCPUID says 2X. Either way, my 3DMark scores are way off what I was getting with my BE6-II. 880

The BE6-II could run my Celeron II 533 @ 904 stable and had a best score of 6008.

The CUS can only manage 880 and scores < 5500. Hmm... will report back if I find anything. Would appreciate the same.

NoMAD, I haven't found a fix for the problem betweem the fsb's of 110-132. But, I am now steaming ahead at 933MHz - 133fsb. At this speed, my AGP stabilized itself out (must have switched ratios) and is now running at 4x. As we speak, I'm getting 7500 3dmark's. I'm not complaining, for this processor, 7500 marks is great. Have you checked out http://www.cusl2.com ?? They have great message boards. Also, if you plan to overclock much higher than 120fsb, you'll probably have to mod your chip. The CUSL2-C ALWAYS boots up at 1.65 VCore, then once it gets a good post (it beeps) it'll jump the VCore up to your setting (such as 1.85V). This is very lame if you ask me! Getting much more than 120fsb requires the full voltage or else it won't even post. So, I followed instruction at http://metamajik.com/pk/overclock.html and modded my processor to default at 1.85V. Works great now. Let me know if you have this problem.
