Thanks to much hand holding from the gurus on this list, I
successfully assembled a new box.  The mb is the Asus P2B
and the CPU a Celeron 300A from Malaysia.  I choose the Asus
over the Abit board because I wanted to migrate 3 ISA bus
peripherals from the old box.

I have not yet changed frequency jumper settings which were
already factory set to 5.5x (1 1/2) for the core bus, 66.8Mhz
for the external clock bus and 33.8Mhz for the PCI.

When booting up, the screen reports the CPU as Celeron (450Mhz).
This suggests that the default settings are the correct ones
for overclocking the 300A to 450Mhz.  Is this right or is
66.8Mhz the wrong external clock setting for overclocking?

Also, what would the right PCI bus setting be?  As I don't
yet have any PCI bus peripherals, this may be of purely
academic interest at this point.

Thanks in advance for your help.
