There appears to be two versions of this
motherboard doing the rounds, the main difference between the
two are the clock generators.
The older versions of this motherboard include
clock generators which are stable at 133Mhz and greater whereas
the newer boards appear to be using clock generators only stable
up to 120Mhz - This seriously reduces the chances of being able
to use the new Intel Pentium 4 Northwood B (533Mhz) CPU's.
