i have no problem running the mobo at FSB 133 , but at FSB 166 -- which the mobo is advertised to support -- it's not at all reliable. first, it doesn't recognise the CPU in its default setting, but thinks it's a 1900+ running at 1467 MHz ; more seriously, if i try manually setting the FSB to 166 with appropriate other settings, it boots ok 1 - 3 times, then fails to talk to the AGP card: there's a long-short-short beep signalling this & then Linux boots invisibly, as i can see & hear from the HDD activity & fr using Ctl-Alt-Del to reset.
Try to check in the manual what that signal means, then ask for replacement :-)
Probably it depends on the video card, the mobo could be fine. Have you tried to lower the AGP speed to 4x? (if possible, I once saw a mobo where you could force the agp to run at 2x instead of 4x). You won't notice any performace hit, agp 8x only gives troubles.
