lol...classic...soz for the stress...wierd how a 266fsb cpu could cause no boot situation though.
could it have been some sort of ram setting issue? - maybe too little volts for the ram booting at a possibly higher speed after the bios clear with the new cpu?
anyway one would think a 266fsb cpu would make no difference and its unlikly the cpu was being pushed too far for default voltage...although that may be the case too..

you have given me an idea for wires running from under the cpu and maybe a jumper for the mod though.
