Depending on what speed the mobo can handle, 500 maybe the max, which is why its still 500 when u changed it. The system may have lowered the speed, since it cant handle 550 mhz.
Do u know what the brand/model of the mobo is? |

If your motherboard is anything like the one I threw out a few months ago, you will have a set of jumpers (look like plastic switches) that will control the motherboard. Find the make, model, and revision number (if applicable) of the motherboard; throw that into Google and find a motherboard manual (unless you still have the original motherboard manual). Read that and within it there should be a table showing what the jumpers should be set to. Set the jumpers accordingly |
