Well, I know for a fact the max multiplier on the Tyan S2460 is 15x.  So you can
scratch running a 2600 in it.

I contacted Asus as well, but their support sucks, so I will be lucky to get a
response at all.

But that's all I was saying.  Some of the more "popular" boards, might not
support a 16x multiplier.
