Where is SW-1 set?
What multiplyer did settings did you use?
Did you clear the Bios when installing a different processor?

Yes, you are right it is CLK_SW. Sounds like that is all ok.
In "Advanced Chipset Features" set the FSB to 166 mHz or what ever ½ of the
max. CPU FSB frequency is.

Try BIOS FK.

You do know that XP-Mobile support is not guaranteed by Gigabyte, right?
Since the 2500+ that you had and the 2600 you are trying to use both require
the same FSB, I have an awful suspicion that the 2600 Mobile is not
compatible with your board - else the board would recognise the FSB. Still,
try the latest BIOS (above) if you haven't already.
