    Hi Rod,

    some ideas:
    1) did you change the order of the pci devices (swap the scsi controller
    with another pci device?)

    2) do you use the most recent bios for the 550MHz Mainboard?

    3) Is the voltage of the 550MHz CPU correct?
    Does the mainboard list the Amd K6-2/550 as supported CPU?

    Are you able to put the 330MHz CPU into the 550 Mhz Board?
    (Be careful, the my work with different voltage settings)!!

    Bye
    Oliver
