Hello everyone, I am the proud owner of 3 socket 423 motherboards. I really can't explain how this came about it just sort of happened. Anyway 2 of the boards are intel and one is a gateway oem board. They each have a different willamette cpu.. a 1.7 , a 1.8 and a 1.9. All the boards work very well but the weird thing is they only work with the cpu that is currently installed. When I try to switch up the processors between the boards I get no boot. Everything fires up but I get no video. I am not sure of the bios versions on these boards and don't see any kind of jumpers to play with but should it matter? I kind of thought that there would not be any difference between one cpu or the other. If anyone has any thoughts on this I would be interested to hear them--thanks
