Gordon, how did you get such good numbers?

model name      : VIA Esther processor 1200MHz
cpu MHz         : 399.054

Is this accurate?  A 1200mhz cpu running at 399?  Under clocked?

Maybe it is intentionally underclocked to run without a cpu fan.

My money would be on accidental incorrect BIOS settings - eg. "Load Safety defaults" setting or something. I did have one of hese boards do this on me after I had to do a NV-RAM clear after screwing up the video system!

These VIA processors are quite hardy - I could probably overclock them if needed - the 1GHz ones I'm using run cool to the point of being cold, as do the 533MHz ones I'm using. I have a couple of 1.2GHz ones with fans, (in a router application) and the fans are temperature controlled directly by the motherboard, and I've tried my hardest to get them to spin up when in-use and they stubbornly stay off!

(they do spin up at boot time, so I know they do work! but for other applications - eg. totally fanless set-top boxes, these are the works and some of them have hardware Mpeg decode - which is OT for asterisk though!)
