The factor is always x.0 or x.5 times the "base" speed.<BR />If your board won't set a higher factor there is nothing you can do.<BR />FWIW: the lower-speed processors are still very easy to find on the secondary market.

I flashed the BIOS and still get the error.<BR /><BR />The board SWitches only show PII 500 support. How would I indicate the PIII 550 or higher?<BR /><BR />What would it take to get rid of the Microcode error? <BR /><BR />Thanks for any assistance.<BR />Mykal Mon, 16 Jul 2001 17:28:35 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/netserver-e60-piii-installation/m-p/2553267#M64 Mykal Henson 2001-07-16T17:28:35Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/netserver-e60-piii-installation/m-p/2553268#M65 This is not possible. The limitations of the system board will not allow for processors greater than PIII 550.
