I just built three systems yesterday using this board, but I'm having a bit of an issue with all of them. Instead of having the FSB be 266MHz, it is running at 251MHz. If I go in the BIOS and set the overclocking mode to any mode but auto to try and set it to 266MHz, it won't boot the OS. On POST, it shows the correct full speed for each CPU, but those speeds are not what it actually runs at.
Two of these systems are using Xeon X3210 chips, the other is using an E6700. All have 2GB of Micron D9 ram, and good power supplies.
Please help!

These Xeon's are not on the CPU's supported list.

Try one of the older bios or the modded bios.
These are new installs on what vista or XP?
Need more system specs cpuz shows your VGA at 4X AGP 2?
It does not just happen on the Xeons, it also happens on an E6700.
The Xeons are actually supported, as are any B3 chips, they just aren't listed, as they aren't tested.
I've tried the 1.7 BIOS which came with it, and the latest 2.0 BIOS, and both have done the same thing.
Full specs:
-ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA
-Intel Xeon X3210 -OR- Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
-HP 2 x 1GB DDR2-667 (Micron D9 chips)
-160GB Seagate PATA drive
-Cooler Master eXtreme 550W PSU
-LG 16x DVD-ROM
-nVIDIA GeForce2 MX-400 AGP 4x video card
-Some cheap Rosewill case
-Clean install of Windows XP Professional.
