RE: New CPU help
Find who the motherboard is manafactured by then hop on their website and download the updated bios and the flashing tool.
Are you sure your motherboard supports that processor?

O.P. RE: New CPU help
yeh my mobo does support it.
i think my mobo is intel made becuase yhe chipset is 845PE. but on some system info programs it says my motherboard is Dell Dimension Desktop 4550

[Edit] i updated my BIOS from A01 to A08 but theres still no option to change the multplier or FSB.
could i get a bios flash from intel then use a new BIOS, such as Award?

RE: New CPU help
There are four chipsets starting in 845PE:

Intel® Desktop Board D845PEBT2   
Intel® Desktop Board D845PECE   
Intel® Desktop Board D845PEMY   
Intel® Desktop Board D845PESV

If you tell me which one it is I can find you a link to the bios flash utility or you can look for yourself on http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Support_Intel.aspx. It's a Desktop Board.
Try CPU-Z: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-131.zip.

Although it's a Dell board so installing an Intel bios for it might not be so good.

RE: New CPU help
I have a quick question which depending on your answer my be a fix.

After installing the new CPU, did you install your OS from scratch?
If you install a new CPU and don't want to have to reformat, you'll have to install a new HAL. Have you tried reinstalling your OS? What was the speed of your system before you updated your CPU?

i didnt reinstall my OS becuase i thought there was no need. HAL? lol care to explain?
my old CPU was 1.8Ghz
but are the chances it will not work/go wrong high or is it really a 50/50 chance?
[Edit] tried one of the programs, it doesnt let me continue becuase its not an intel board :(

RE: New CPU help
Did you update the CPU in a standard Dell PC? This may be the reason the multipliers are not set correctly.
