   6500 RPM range.
2. Added new support of upcoming 266 FSB Duron, L2 = 64K, CPUID = 0680H/0681H.
3. Fixed the problem that MAC address shows 00-00-00-00-00-00 in system
   configurations table after resuming system from Suspend-To- Disk (S4) mode.
4. Added two options "2.5V" and "2.55V" in "DRAM Voltage Control" setting.
5. Revised the wording of "DDR VDDQ Voltage" to "DDR Voltage".
