CPU Underclocking

Hi, I read this question on itmob.com.
"Anybody here know how to fix it?? I tried to swap the P-M 705 for a P-M 745 (1.8GHz 2MB L2) but it would not work at any higher than 600MHz, so I thought it was just not compatible, so I returned it. But when I swapped the 1.5GHz back in, it too would no longer go higher than 600MHz. I did a format after each time I changed processors. I downloaded the latest chipset utility from intel. I checked the BIOS if I can manually clock my processor. And I changed my power management scheme to minimal power management. But none of this helped..... Please help with any suggestions you can offer."
Laptops vary the CPU speed depending on load...this conserves battery power

Summary: 1st of all, it's 9 x 266MHz, not 233MHz. And 2.4GHz is 2.4GHz. There *may* be some added heat due to the faster FSB setting, but it won't be significant. The motherboard chipset would be affected more...

Summary: humm.. sounds like its a jumper problem.. doesn't your MOBO have a Jumper to Switch it from a 100mhz bus to a 133mhz bus.. cuss it can handle Durons and Tbirds 1.4 if the Cpu has the true 133mhz bus x...
