90265	2002-10-18 05:10:00	Hi guys, Thanks for the input Yes the lettering on the chip is A1000AMT3C. I changed the jumper on the Iwill board & it made no difference, still registered as a 750 so went into the BIOS "Iwill Smart Settings" & changed the CPU Clock to 133 from 100. Rebooted & XP wouldn't load. Noticed when I was in there that the option to set the CPU Clock Ratio had gone with the BIOS Upgrade. I had made a backup of my BIOS so reflashed it to the old BIOS & the setting was restored. Set it to 133 x 7.5 rebooted & XP booted up fine. I don't know if it made any difference or not but I removed the processor from XPs Harware list before the last reboot. Even though there are jumpers on both motherboards it is my understanding that both can be over ridden with BIOS settings. Anyway, I have now booted to XP successfully for the first time with the CPU reading as it should. I should now leave well enough alone but am now going to try & run it at 1100 to see what happens. Apparently these chips will run at 1400 comfortably. (Some people never learn eh?) Thanks for the help & I'll post back what happens. Cheers	Stumped Badly (348)
