Thanks for your response, Jim. Big help!
Mine is a 2.8A, so it's running at 533MHz. Therefore, I'll set the jumpers
for 133MHz.
Now I have a bigger problem: After installing the new mobo, cpu, and
memory, (leaving two physical hard drives and DVD in place) I continue to
get the message "error loading operating system". BIOS does recognize the
drives OK.
I Googled that error message and tried various suggested work-arounds, but
no joy. I'm now reformatting the C: drive and will do a fresh install of
Windows XP. Hope that does it.
Thanks again,
Ron L.
