I just bought a new P4 478 pin 3.4 gig 800 fsb 1meg. My other was a 2.8 533 478 pin. It doesn't want to boot up? Do I need updated memory to use this new processor? The memory is DDR 3200
yup thats the prob bush dogg, Mazspeed you need to download the latest bios from ur mobo manufacturer's site and then install it, i bet itll work fine after that.
Use that link if your mobo is DEFINITELY a p4c800 deluxe and not a p4c800 or p4c800-e deluxe.
Your new cpu was supported from bios level 1017, so put the old cpu in,switch your machine on, and note the BIOS level reported on the POST screen.
If the number is lower than 1017, you need to upgrade the BIOS.
Ok got it. I was able to do it and flash the bios (big pain in the ass) but since I was running SCSI's and other ad ons I had to take it in so that they could redo the bios settings. I wish they would tell you this stuff on the website. Oh well I got it, and it's faster now. Thanks for your help everyone.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
