533Mhz FSB of E7501

[Terry B. Chen]

	We tested s2723 that use E7501 source code; I find linuxbios can not support dual channel memory. Then I try to disable hyper threading, the spot_check meet error again！ 
	I have compare the E7501 with E7500 Bios spec, it have a lot of differences between these two chipsets including RCOMP programming. I suppose it need to modify in many site.
	This is the two the lspci file. I suppose you just need 00:00;0

Greetings,

Most likely, there is an undocumented register issue in the northbridge.

With the OEM BIOS, can you send me an lspci with a 400 FSB and a 533
FSB. That should narrow things down.

G'day,
sjames
