Hi Mark!

   Its the motherboard...

   Although I haven't seen a "no post" at x2, I have seen the Epox MVP3 class, looking for x2 and getting x6 (BIOS issue), not report a speed at all.

   All K6-X CPU's with the "sharptooth" K6=III based core have the x6 @ x2 feature. The info can be found in there white papers at this .pdf

>>    P.S., try buying the latest K6-2 550Mhz CPU once you get your FBS to
>> 100Mhz. If you set your multiplier to x2 it will overclock to 600Mhz
