Is the cpu a 1.33c? Take note of the C. C means it is meant for a
133mhz FSB. The 1.33 came in both 100mhz and 133mhz versions.
If it is C, then yes, those bios settings is what controls the FSB
frequency. My motherboard uses a dip switch on the mb to change that
option, it varies from various manufacturers. But I believe Asus uses
the softmenu system (controlled through the bios). Another thing to
take note of is the AGP divider. When runnung on a 100mhz FSB it
should be set to 2/3 (66mhz), when using a 133MHZ fsb it should be set
to 1/2 (again, 66mhz).
