CPU
You'd much rather choose the first chip.
-- Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx "Clayton" wrote in message ... I have a couple of P4. 1.8GHz chips and was wondering which one is the better of the 2 1. System Bus 400MHz, 512KB L2-Cache, 1.5 core voltage 2. System Bus 400MHz, 256KB L2-Cache, 1.7 core voltage I see that one chip has more L2-Cache and the other has higher core voltage, what is L2-Cache and core voltage? thanks |

New Motherboard & CPU
Greetings --
Normally, unless the new motherboard is virtually identical to the old one (same chipset, IDE controllers, etc), you'll need to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation, at the very least: How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade of Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/directo...;EN-US;Q315341 This may also require re-activation. If it's been more than 120 days since you last activated that specific Product Key, you'll most likely be able to activate via the Internet without problem. If it's been less, you might have to make a 5 minute phone call.

Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH "Michael G" wrote in message ... I am attempting to install a MB/CPU upgrade. I have been able to get the machine to boot XP ONCE. Everything seems to work fine. After the drivers for the new hardware on the board is loaded, I am asked to reboot to finalize settings. I checked the activation requirement prior to flipping the switch and it was activated. When the computer starts up, I get to a mode selection screen, no success with any of them. After that I get and endless loop of stop errors. I have reinstalled my orignal board and everything is fine. I searched all the posts and did not see anything like this. Any ideas? |
