ECS PM800-M2 mobo
VIA PM800 Northbridge, VT8237 Southbridge chipsets
P4 Celeron 2.66GHz (socket 478)
512MB RAM
It's got onboard AGP video, but I've got the BIOS set to
Init Display First: PCI slot
I've got an ATi (I think) PCI VGA installed for setup.
I've seen this error posted in couple of forums. Here's
what one poster who, back in March, had been getting the
same error had to say:
"I have the Phoenix-Award BIOS and under the Advanced BIOS
settings I discovered changing the max CPUID from disable to
enable allowed me to install NT 4.0 Workstation on this
machine."
My mobo doesn't seem to have this setting, but perhaps
there's a similar one? I don't know what this setting is.
