And the old one still appears in device manager, can you delete the 2 entries (for dual core), in device manager, then reboot? And it'll update it / show the right CPU / speed? The Intel Processor ID Util shows the right speed, but device manager doesnt. This is in Vista |

The new speed 2.8. So does the Intel Processor ID Util. It shows 2.8 under system as well. But the old speed in device manager under CPU |

I assumed you just replaced a CPU which does not care about chipsets and motherboard drivers. |

Both were already installed (chipset and motherboard drivers). All I did was replace a 2.5 CPU (800 FSB CPU), with a 2.8 1066 FSB CPU (which supports VT). NOT the mobo. So, I can use XP Mode. (If I can be bothered reinstalling Win7 again lol). Vista was already installed. I thought it may need reactivating, but it didnt. May make up another system with the old CPU, when I can be bothered buying another mobo. Since all I need now, is the ram, mobo and a case. |
