Unrecognized upgrade

[davidlnelson]

While searching desperately for a new CPU for my Averatec c3500 (the older chip AMD Athlon 2200+ AXMT2200GWS4C had burnt out). I came across the statement that '' The fastest socket 563 CPU is Athlon XP-M 2400+ AXMD2400GJQ4C. '' in one of the forums here. So I bought one and it works fine...yeahhhhh. But my computer recognizes the chip as the old chip. Even after updating the bios version and uninstall/reinstalling the driver. I would not mind the additional performance available. I wish there was a AXMD2400GJQ4D or better so that my 333mhz capable mobo could run at 333mhz instead of 266mhz.

SIS M741 chipset is supporting FSB 333 MHz Athlons mobile.

Huh?
Das tut mir leid, ich habe dich nicht verstehen.
...I speak some German and some Spanish... but huh?
I am sorry, I did not understand you.
Please, once again, in layman terms.

I mean your TablePC based on SISM741 chipset which support Athlon XP CPUs on FSB 333 MHz. But from that what I know there weren't Athlon XP-M 563 pin on FSB 333 MHz.

I assure you that the chip is 563. I bought a Socket A chip in error, and learned this expensive lesson first hand. I then ran across the informtion stated above in my first post. Also, I miss took your last statement as an attempt to help rather than what it was; questioning the information I provided. I updated the SiSm741 driver. All this did was lower the video quality of my computer. I wish I could have rolled back the driver to my old one, but it is gone now. I was asking origionally about what would it take for the computer to recognize the new processor. And maybe realize the preformance available.

[davidlnelson]

I understand you. What I wrote was that the mobo was 333mhz capable. Which agrees with your analysis of the SisM741. And if you look closely my statement that I wish there was a 2400+ AXMD2400GJQ4D means that I agree. Since 2400+ AXMD2400GJQ4C is all that there is. Note the C or D at the end which designates up to 266 or 333 respectively. Since it seems that nobody has info on making my computer recognize the 2400 as a 2400 and not a 2200, can anyone tell me how to get the correct video driver back. I have already tried ''rolling back'' to the old driver; but it must be lost. The new video settings and refresh rate suck.

OK, I went back to the SIS website and allowed it to detect what my system was and what driver it needed. I then downloaded the correct driver...installed and... viola' the graphics are back as they should be. Still have no luck with the original problem, even after un/re-installing the CPU driver. Any, help or am I just stuck with an underutilized CPU?

AXMD2400GJQ4C is what is in my laptop, and id swear that it was a microPGA .. a 754 socket, not this other... mentioned above....

Im still looking for an upgrade or even a down grade to get it working again !!!!
