BIOS Configuration:

The first screenshot is actually the etBIOS page, which is displayed after the POST test, but before the system tries to boot from any device. From this screen the user can choose the built-in DVD player, PC (regular boot), or power down. the etBIOS page only seems to display when using the onboard video, when an AGP video card is added the option disappears from the BIOS.

The BIOS for the most parts is the standard Phoenix-Award setup, with the usual tweaks and customizations relevant to this setup.

Memory timings are fully adjustable, and several memory divisors are also present. The second screenshot has the few options for the etBIOS player configuration. Again, these options are only available when using the onboard video. Adding an AGP video card makes these options disappear from the BIOS and the system bypasses the above etBIOS boot screen.

The health status page provides all the usual temperature / voltage / fan RPM information. The frequency / voltage control offers a few adjustments for the overclocking enthusiast. First thing to note, the multiplier adjustment is only available if you have an unlocked CPU, regular users will not see this option.

The front side bus speed is only adjustable from 200MHz - 233MHz (in 1MHz increments). This gives the user a little overclocking ability, however higher speeds would have been nice. The only voltage adjustment is for the memory, selectable from 2.5V - 3.0V in 0.1V increments. Oddly enough the memory voltage is not displayed in the health status screen though. CPU voltage adjustment would have been nice, not only for overclocking but for under-volting to help run the CPU a little cooler.

Overclocking:

As mentioned above, overclocking on this board is limited by two factors in the BIOS, first there is no CPU voltage adjustment, and second the FSB only goes up to 233MHz. We were able to run stable at the max 233FSB without any problems.
