| 223070 | 2004-03-17 06:07:00 | How old is the board ? Anything board with chipset purchased after october last year should support prescotts right out of the box | the highlander (245) | ||
| 223071 | 2004-03-17 06:11:00 | www.intel.com Check your revision number on your motherboard. If it is: AA C27650-209 or later AA C27646-210 or later AA C26719-211 or later AA C27648-208 or later AA C40926-202 or later. Then your board can support the 1mb cache. If the revision number aint there, then I guess it can't. "Board Revision note: A small bar-coded label, similar to the diagram shown below, can be found on the component side of the desktop board. The numbers following the letters "AA" can help identify the type and version of your desktop board. The AA contains a 6 digit main number, and a 3 digit dash number (the 3 numbers following the "-". The statement "...or later" refers to the dash number of the AA (the three numbers following the "-"). If this number is greater than the number listed in the table, the board supports the associated processor(s). If your 6 digit main number is not listed in the table, contact your system manufacturer for processor support information." |

| 223073 | 2004-03-18 02:42:00 | Thanks it is a supported board being AA C27646-211 | Cyrin (5414) | ||
| 223074 | 2004-03-18 02:44:00 | The system is only a couple of weeks old. I've tried the Intel CPI ID utility but it tells me the same as the BIOS, which is the latest from INTEL. Hmm... |

| 223075 | 2004-03-18 05:48:00 | And you say you've updated your bios as well. Take your evidence and compile it into an email and send it to the place you bought it from. They've obviously given you the wrong chip. Make them send out the new chip before returning the old one, so no down time for you. But they might not like that idea. Start quoting consumer act etc. The word 'lawyer' produces marvellous results. |

In today's society, it amazes me how powerful these people with the title "Lawyers" are. I just can't wait till be one.... Similarly, "tax auditors" do similar good when talking to a business. |
