BIOS says CPU is 0MHz
I installed a new CPU in my Latitude CSx, and while it works, the BIOS says it's 0MHz... It's REALLY odd, but as I said, it works when it boots into XP, and shows the right speed...
Will this affect other operating systems, like DOS and/or Linux? As in the BIOS, where it says Boot Speed, the options are "0 MHz", and "COMPATIBLE"...

(i do know the 850MHz it has in it is supposed to run at 700, as it's a SpeedStep CPU, and the CSx don't support that)..

I also needed a Pentium III, not a Celeron. I need the extra cache, and the SSE instruction set, not to mention, 100 MHz bus...

The CSx has a MPGA-2 processor.. But anyways, there has to be a reason for a Pentium III over a Celeron, and I just want my CSx to be the fastest, so no more upgrades are needed..
