Hi,

This is the response I got from Dave Watkins, one of the Asus distributors
in New Zealand regarding my query about overclocking of CPU.

May be helpful to some of u out there.

Regards

Hi

There was mention of your overclocking question the the Debian Weekly 
Newsletter.

I work for the New Zealand Distributor of Asus and the P3C-2000 was 
recalled. If memory serves it has the Intel 820 chipset with the MTH 
(Memory Translator Hub). There was a severe bug in the MTH the causes 
memory corruption. I'm very surprised you haven't noticed it already as it 
was quite bad. The MTH is the translator chip that coverts the RAMBUS 
signals that the chipset talks, into SDRAM signals so standard SDRAM can be 
used.

As far as I know the P3C-2000 was the only board that has the MTH soldered 
onto the board. All other Asus 820 Chipset boards has riser cards and Intel 
replaced all of those with Rambus memory instead (removing the MTH from the 
equation). But in the case of the P3C-2000 the board had to be replaced. At 
the time we were using a VIA based Asus board to replace them with but I 
would imagine an Intel 815 Chipset board would be more relevant now. My 
only concern is that the board may have fallen out of warranty. If not give 
the place a call that you bought the board from. If they are of no help try 
emailing Asus directly

Hope this helps

Dave

To change the bindings of ctrl+alt+del to  "shutdown -h now", 
instead of "shutdown -r now", edit /etc/inittab. The line you
are interested in should look like this:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
Just change "-r" to "-h".
