Why not set the board for a 200Mhz. CPU? That's one of the documented
options.

I'm not so sure about that. IIRC, this thing requires more 3.3V current
capacity than an off-the-shelf power supply could muster. I've yet to see
a 'mini' (aka tower) AT supply which delivered 10A _at_ 3.3V. I had to buy a
special supply in order to get mine going.
