Hi all, I've been tinkering around with my old computer and decided I'd get a Slot 1 to Socket 370 converter. After doing so I threw a 1GHz Chip on it and set the jumpers. The computer booted fine but upon entering the BIOS it said the Proc name was "To Be Announced" and the speed was only 748MHz. This is a 440BX Chipset and a old Dell MoBo. The origanal proc was a P3 500MHz and now is a P3(Coppermine) 1000MHz but only runs at 748.3MHz. Can I up the speed manually or is there nothing I can do?

You have a Pentium III "EB", which, in order to run at its full speed, requires a motherboard that supports a bus speed of 133MHz. The BX chipset officially supports bus speeds of up to 100MHz. While plenty of BX boards will overclock to 133MHz, Dell motherboards unfortunately will not. 7.5 x 100 = 750MHz. 7.5 x 133 = 1000MHz.

Hello. I'm jealous lol. I wish I could get my pc to run @750mhz. I'm working on a somewhat similar issue. mobo: Pcchips PC100 (M726) slot 1 PII Chipset : BXcel 100 Using a slocket adaptor, I put im a 1000mhz/100/128/1.75v celeron. Bios recognizes 10 x 100 1000mhz in boot screen. Aida32/PCwizard recognize the 1000mhz cpu, however, it says its actually running at 501+/- Mhz, with a 50Mhz Bus...! Bios has been recently updated and I have physically tried evrything I could think of on the mobo jumper/ slocket jumper. Also: Originally with the nvidia MX400, I had stability issues until I dropped down to 1x form 2x in the bios
