   The CPU clock (among other signals) is derived from the 40 MHz   
   oscillator U110. The 32 MHz oscillator U159 is used for the FPU (and   
   other things).   
      
   So, unless the board can be "jumpered" differently to change the clock   
   source, I'd say somebody installed an incorrect CPU. Can you measure the   
   clock frequency at the CPU CLK pin (or buzz the path out with the help   
   of the schematic)?
