Yeah I already figured out the FSB part . I thought that, if it ain't set
too 100 FSB by jumpers, it is automatically set to use 133 FSB.

The flashing problem was solved by using an older version of the flashing
program (Since the newer versions didn't support the EEPROM)

I forgot to mention in my original post that, there was no option in BIOS
nor was there a jumper that could be switched to allow BIOS overwriting to
allowed.

Anyway, I fixed the problems I had and everything is running fine now.

Thanks for your efforts everyone
