You might need a BIOS flash to get it to see the new processor, or it might be a case that you need to manually set the FSB and Multiplier in the BIOS.

ok.. i flashed my bios just before i put the chip in, do i need to do it again?
i dont know what to set the FSB and multiplier to.. :confused: any more help?

What core is the chip? the "codename" as it were, any idea?

# Athlon XP 3000+ FSB: 166 MHz Multiplier: 13.0x Clock: 2.166 GHz
# Athlon XP 3000+ FSB: 200 MHz Multiplier: 10.5x Clock: 2.100 GHz
