Thanks, Rock, for the link. My mobo is an
ASUS P4B266C. Linked to ASUS but
its "download" servers are down for
synchronization.
I'll download the ASUS mobo manual
when I get the chance. Pressing Del did
nothing, and pressing Pause, welll, it
stopped my system--forcing me to power
off the system to escape. My mobo
obviously uses a different key to enter
BIOS. Can't find my P4B266C manual.
Did learn one thing from the ASUS site.
Can't run a faster CPU than P4 2.4 GHz.
That means this time next year, I'll be
running a new mobo and CPU.
