More info?)
Thanks. I removed the CPU this afternoon and clean the back properly.
I found some more engraved numbers on the back. I found:
"SL726" . How can this information help me in the installation?
Does this shed any light as to why the multiplier was stuck at 12x?
I have re-installed my old 1.8G and it is running ok. I would like to
know what I need to do to get the 3.06G to run before I install it or
perhaps, I should return it to the seller?
