I've just recently blown some life in my secondary system by adding a new processor, video card and more ram. The most recent addition was the cpu very much thanks to UPS slow operating procedures. As soon as I installed the nes cpu I ran into a few things I cannot explain myself. First of all, the system always boots at the default CPU level [233 MHz] when having instlled a new processor, but the funny thing is that it boots as a PII at 589MHz, not as a celeron, and as far as I know 589 doe not correspond to any set clock fsb multipileer combo.
Nevertheless, when I changed it to a custom setting with FSB @ 112 and the multiplier @ 5.5 with the speed error hold disabled [the highest settings the bios would let me do], the system boots at 962MHz - still a PII when it really should be a celeron @ 671 MHz. What adds to the mess is that peripheral software such as 3DMark registeres it as a celeron @1009 MHz.
Obviosly I figured I had a bios problem and tried to install the recent version. Doing that I got a I immidiately got a write error. To aviod this I thought it be best to scale down the bios legacy. I was able to install bios updates for the BX6 up to the bxhv-update dated 01/25/99, after that all other updates suffered from write errors. Presently I am clueless, what the fck is going on heree. Any advice on the mater would be very helpful.
Oh, other than the bios miss it's running like a champ compared to before, so 3Dmark might be on target as far as indentifying the clock speed and the processor, but there must be some way I can sort this out. Any advice on the matter would be helpful
System spec's:
Intel Celeron 900MHz
Abit BX6 rev 1.0
Asus slotket [latest rev, forgot which one]
kingston PC-133 256 MB RAM
The rest should be dismissable.
