No, not that cheap!
What is this thing supposed to be? When booted up, it says MMX200, but it runs super slow and horrible in the PcChips m530 motherboard it came with. I know it is definitely NOT a Pentium MMX200, because I have one and they look nothing like that. It doesn't even look like a real Pentium either, not even a common counterfeit Pentium rebranded as MMX! At least I know it has big PP beneath.
Anyway, does anyone know how to make this m530 motherboard recognise a real Pentium MMX233? I realised the max multiplier it has is x3, and MMX233 needs x3.5. When I plug it in, the POST screen shows 'Pentium MMX200' instead of the real name. I have a trusty (kind of) board PcChips M571 which I really like, and it works there! But it has the x3.5 multiplier. Before you say anything like 'lol don't use PCChips', for some reason is the only kind of motherboard you get in Argentina.
