x1000 CPU upgrade

[lingojock]

Hi. I just replaced the cpu on my x1010AL from a 1.3 Banias to a 1.73 Dothan. The problem is that the system still reads the speed of the old cpu in the bios and in windows xp sp2. I updated to the latest bios on the Hp support site. Any clues why? I guess its a multiplier lock on the system and if it is, is there a bypass workaround? Thanks in advance.

You installed the wrong CPU.  The 1.73 is a 533 FSB CPU (133x4) with a l13x multiplier.  The x1000 only supports 400mhz FSB (100x4) so what you got is a 100mhz x a cpu with a 13 multplier which equals 1300...I just replaced mine with a 1.7 dothan with a 17x multiplier which is what I think you meant to do.  Off your cpu on Ebay and get one with a 400mhz fsb.
