Not a problem as such. I am wondering if I can swap a 2.40 gigahertz Intel Celeron on this pc, with a 3 gig 'multiprocessor" from another pc, to make this one just that little bit quicker?

- Board: P4M266A-8235May 29, 2009
- Do I have to have any drivers, or will it just boot up as normal, but quicker?

- That is excellent news for me then I hope. Cos if that is so, the cpu from here, can go to other pc if it fits :) Thanx a heap for the answer, and theank you more for the quick response. *adds this site to favourites*May 29, 2009
- Ok, I just swapped, they fit in perfectly :) When I booted up, I got "warning CPU has been changed. Please setup CPU HOST clock in chipset features setup" How would I do that? And in belarc, it now says "1.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4" Right clicking on "my pc" and clicking properties, in the system it says...
"Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
1.52GHz, 1.50 GB of RAM" and device manager says in "processors" it says "Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz" twice. Please explain lmaoMay 29, 2009
- Sorry, i don't know... I mean, I know how to get into the bios, but am not exactly sure where it is I am going. In the second option I think it is, it did say something about hyperthreading enabled....
Thanx a heap, its greatly appreciated for your help.May 29, 2009
- Yeah, I know how to get there... its to a actual place "chipset features setup" and to set the clock that I don't know... the clock that was there... is the right date and time and such.... so is there somewhere else?May 29, 2009
- I didnb't reset the bios, but when I rebooted just then, the warning didn't come up.... maybe just going into the bios and back out, fixed it?May 29, 2009
- Ok. That be fixed then. Next query is about the exact GHz of this cpu....May 29, 2009
- XP media centre edition sp3.
in belarc, it now says "1.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4" Right clicking on "my pc" and clicking properties, in the system it says...
"Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
1.52GHz, 1.50 GB of RAM" and device manager says in "processors" it says "Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz" twice. Please explain lmao Is it 3.00GHz or actually 1.52?May 29, 2009
- You gotta love jotti. I was on the award (my bios) site and was seeing if i may have needed to upgrade my bios (i don't). But yeah, it said to download and run bios agent plus. ANyways, i uploaded it to jotti and it is bad lmao.May 29, 2009
- On siw, it says "cpu name" as the 3.00GHz nothing about 1.52 or anything... and lower it says "dual core: no" "hyperthreading: yes"

Error 404.
Bad site. Site mcsstudios.com doesn't have a site which is correct with adress you entered. Maybe incorrect address has been entered or this site doesn't exist anymore.

- CTFLASHC.exe (which i will upload to jotti) is supposedly my update for bios. 3 months newer than the one I got now. Wish me luck lol. Now just trying to find the chipset drivers. Is there a program (free) that does all this? lmfaoMay 29, 2009
-
CPU Clock Speed
2793.0 MHz
Clock multiplier
x 14.0
Front Side Bus Frequency
199.5 MHz
Bus Speed
798.0 MHz And at the top, it says "number of cpus 2 (1 physical). I guess the hyperthreadfing makes it 'think' its a 3.00GHz...?May 29, 2009
- Oh, i don't mean to put you outta a job. I mean, a free program like the "update driver' in device manager lol A program that gives the right drivers. Not a prog that tells us the prob, or what the prob is. That is where you would come into it :) Cos (before i found out about jotti) i would clicked something that said "here is your update" and I woulda updated it, and boom... comp dies lol Follow what I mean?May 29, 2009
- V Series Chipsets: VN800, VN896, VX700, VX800, VX800UT, VX820, VX820UT That is on the via website. But, I need VT8751 :(May 29, 2009
- Overclocking..... bit scared of that. My other pc (where this cpu came from) was brilliant, had neons, bout 4 fans... and yeah, the weather got to be about 46 deg celcius here... and comp shutdown, and rebooted saying overclocking failed and i had to reset it. I had to idea... and well, after that... bout 3 restarts later... my motherboard fried. Hence y i got this POS atm :)May 29, 2009
- Thank you. Have downloaded it and done it. Under mainboard.. i see... manafacturer... well there is none. Model is P4M266A-8235 x.x Chipset VIA P4M266 (VT8751) Southbridge VT8235
LPCIO ITE IT8705May 29, 2009
- I have a proggy that lets me know what drivers need to be upgraded... but there is nothing to do with bios or chipset (though, there are a few things that need updating lol. half are done already, just using device manager)
May 29, 2009
- well, I would... BUT, I have flashed bios yet OR found the updated n chipset drivers heheheMay 29, 2009
- *goes and studies manuals* Than a lot. Sorry for the bit of a slow reply, was just puttin the old cpu from here, into other pc (instead 1.8 it now 2.4). May 29, 2009
- Sorry to be a pain. Models on site... P4M266AS4-A06A (and -A07A, -A22A, -A31A, 259A, 298A) but I can't see -8235 which is the one I need (so the cpuz says is my model....May 29, 2009
- I seen that in the part number... I was lookin in the models and thought it shoulda been there too lol. I get the atx not the mirco atx yes lol. I feel like a complete noobi when it comes to this stuff... other pc areas I am pretty good though :) May 29, 2009
- Micro has only 2 ram slots, the atx has four right? Mines only got 2 (grrr...) which means I have the mirco atx. I am pretty sure, I just answered my question, but confirmation would be even better lol
May 29, 2009
- Just opened up and had a look. I have 4 slots... but, am bout 3 short of using all the slots (at back of pc)May 29, 2009
- Well, lookin at them pics, I have the ATX then. Thanks for all your help Lee. Has been highly appreciated
