CPU upgrade

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

On my old comp. I tried to swap P2 350/512 100/2.0V S1 to P2 450/512 2.0V
( including heat sink and fan ).
After booting the screen was black with nothing on it , when I removed CPU
and booted without any CPU in I had the same result.
Reinstalled the P2 350 CPU and everything works fine. P2 450 was taken out
from working comp.
It looks like both CPU's have slot1 connection and fitted well in the
socked.
Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks
Chuck

or maybe, (how far back in time are we going?) there are some jumpers on the
motherboard that need to be set to match the faster cpu.

Or BIOS settings (if there were jumperless boards back then)?
