Well after speaking to Asus I was told the specific proc I was using wasnt
supported.  I qoute "you are lucky it boots up at all"  I then asked him if
an another spare P4 that I had lying around would work.  Gave hime the
Model/Prodcut # and he said Yea, that should work!

I said ok, ill try this....

Put it in, added some heat goo, put the fan back on,  Bios reads P4 3.2 Ghz
(which is what it is) but the Freq. is 2.12Ghz!!! WTF, I think this board is
just crap...suprizing coming from Asus.  They usally make quality stuff.
Not on this one.

I guess I will deal with the OSD studder.  I really dont feel like putting
$200 into this frontend for a new MB and/or Proc.  Just not work it to get
rid of minor stutter.
