thank you for the input.
I currently have the 1015.002
bios version.
I installed the new cpu and it works fine, which I expected anyway, my only
small concern was whether it would be able to take advantage of the
increased cache.. or somehow work with the cpu as if it were 512k. in any
case, I am not sure if I can verify exactly how my asus recognizes the new
cpu.. whether it detects the 1mb cache etc. maybe you know how to check
that, but I am pretty sure its all good, as you said.
thank you again!
I was close to buying an intel865perl board for the new prescott but I
already had a p4p800 so it saved me some money.
I guess both those boards use the same chipset 865p so if one works so
should the other.
this is an off topic subject, but I once bought a p4 2.2gig cpu through
ebay.. used retail kit, and it turned out to be defective, so I Called up
intel and sent it for replacement.. no receipts nothing, just sent it in and
got a new one back a few days later.
now the new cpu I bought is a used one too, it works fine now, but if ever
it needs replacing (packing date on it is 12/2003) does anyone know if intel
changed their return for replacement policies lately? it seems I called
them up a few days ago to ask and they said you need original receipts with
dates etc etc... they also told me you always needed them. which obviously
wasn't the case for my previous cpu.
anyone knows about this?
thanks!
