This quad with bios 308 dosent seem to like high FSB, 401 on the other hand will hit 508FSB on the 8 multi.
anything above 440FSB with bios 308 and the quad would not post with not matter what volts I gave it, now I have a golden 8400 chip sitting here collecting dust......to sell it or build another rig to fold or something

hmm. 0308 wont do 477 on my rig... perhaps i should give 0401 another try.

I find 401 ALOT better bios than 308, I might toss my 8400 back in for fun tonight and see what the max is, I'll compare bandwidth shortly.
seems I might be a few inches short of tubing

So clock for clock BIOS 0308 is faster then 0401? However in terms of overclocking, 0401 is better?
