I wanted to post an update to the XPS T600 system I am upgrading. I was
able to get my hands on a Pentium 3 850mhz/100mhz/256k cpu at a low cost
that is guaranteed working. When I stick the CPU in and have just memory
and an AGP video card connected, the system powers on, but does not post. I
am just wondering, if rather I need a 600mhz cpu, boot the system, flash the
BIOS and then use the 850mhz...? The motherboard in this system is a Rev.
A01 with probably an early BIOS on it.
Suggestions?
