Intel D815eea2 cpu upgrade ??

[Katmandu]

I'm "trying" to update the CPU on my wifes OLD PC.

It currently has a 866 PIII and I'm trying to upgrade it to a 1.0Mhz PIII. Intel's website shows this board will support a 1.0 Mhz.

When I swapped in the 1.0, the PC would NOT show any display on the screen. Sounded like the HD was booting up, but no display.

I swapped the 866 back and it's back to normal.

I didn't see any jumpers listed to change CPU settings like voltage, FSB or anything.

What am I over-looking here ??


TIA,

ERIC

Anybody ?

Too ancient for me.

wow 1mhz? you sure it isn't 1ghz? well w/e clock speed it is make sure it has the right socket size. They usally make like 3 1 ghz models and hard to tell each appart.

Lol a P3 would be 1ghz yea...thats quite fast for a P3 but as Trotter stated thats too ancient for me...im 17 sorry lol I P4's are about my limit.

Yea, Ghz. That's what I get for posting in the middle of the night.

Anyways, the system actually runs very well right now for a 866Mhz. Has 512MB PC133 Ram. Cruises the net just as fast as any PC I've seen. My wife does very little high CPU apps. Basic Email, Office apps is bout it.

I picked up a new 1.0 Ghz P3 for $15 so I figured I slap it in for the heck of it. Couldn't hurt.

Anyways back to my original question...

I slapped the 1.0 Ghz CPU in and got a blank screen. I think the voltage settings are different between the 866 and 1.0.

How do I get the settings right to get the 1.0ghz CPU running on this machine ??

Yea, but I have a wopping $60 in her whole PC which is probably about 1/3 of what your processor ALONE cost! LOL! ;>) ;>)

Now help me with my problem! :>)

you may have picked up a "tualatin" core PIII. If so you may be out of luck. Does the 1GHz PIII have a metal square where the CPU die is? if so you have a tualatin core and it probably wont work depending on the board (different voltages)

Yes it does. I did notice the CPUs have different voltages.

Can I reset the voltages in the BIOS (using the 866 CPU) and then reinstall the 1.0Ghz CPU ??

According to this chart....it "should" support up to a 1.1 Ghz processor.
Intel® Desktop Board D815EEA2/D815EPEA2 - Supported Processors


1.1 GHz 100 MHz 256 KB P04 or greater All board revisions support these processors
1.0 GHz 133 MHz 256 KB P04 or greater

My board's revision is under -700, so it won't support the higher CPUs.

Did Intel make different variety P-III CPUs in the 1.0 Ghz range ??
