  Better known as Asus VX-97.  Details at

You can look up jumpers and download a manual (.PDF, so you'll need
Adobe's Acrobat Reader...) from there.


  The one thing I can see is that the jumpers are described for the
PR233 running at 3.0x66 MHz.  But there is another version of the
PR233 that runs instead at 2.5x75 MHz.  Is it poossible that you have
this version?
