Default CPU

You'd much rather choose the first chip.

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

Default 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

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.

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?
