XP hangs during install

[STEVEM]

I am building a new system and when I try to install XP
Pro it seems to stop responding adn has Please wait at
the bottom of the screen right after I press Enter to
agree to the terms and condition.

Check the CPU bus speed setting. Initially, the jumper
(JP2) on my mobo was set to 'Auto' from the manufacturer
(L4VXA2 P4 motherboard; Celeron 2.66 GHz CPU, 400 MHz FSB)
Changed it to '533' (I'm running one stick of 512 MB DDR
RAM. When I first started XP and W2K installs, I first had
to disable L1/L2 cache which of course is really slow, and
after reboot re-enabled it - still crashed. Resetting the
mobo's bus speed corrected the problem. Now it flies!
