Ihave the same problem.

I contacted epox, they said

if you take of the chipset heatsink and you have silver coloured chip
then your board will defintely run properly with an XP chip, if you
have a black chip then you should be ok with an Athlon XP.

I have an 1500XP wich I have running reliably at 130FSB (with a little
extra vio voltage and some things disabled in the bios)

I used to have 1.4 G thunderbird which ran 100% stable at 140 FSB.
