^ here's the link to orig bios.
This board is a OEM custom built by Asus.
Im not talented in modifying bios's but im getting interested in the whole idea that you can do thing's you weren't intended to.

I did a little bit of playing around with other bios's of the same manufacture/style of motherboard. I was able to get 3 bios's to function, but network, audio, graphics, firewire were not functioning as they should.
1 or 2 would allow me to change mhz but not the multiplier. It would also never save settings and would never boot unless i unplugged the power and plugged it back in.

This board shipped with a celeron at 3.0ghz with 256kb cache 533mhz FSB
I bought a P4 with a 800mhz fsb and a 512kb cache.
The p4 will not work with the ORIG bios.
However it functions with one of the bios in the images below.
P4GE-VM, P4B533VM, P4BGL-VM

Here's a example of the graphics problem. It can be fixed with a driver install.
Normal board displays in 32bit color.

Any help or guidance on the matter will be much appreciated.
