Hi, I have an acer veriton fp2 mobo that I purchaced for a carputer project... The board originaly was to use a pentium 3 866 mhz chip... I also purchaced a P3 1ghz chip for an upgrade... I can not get the new processor to work with the board. I get a "CPU mismatch error " when the processor is installed. I have d/l the bios update from acer and it will not get past the floppy boot... Tells me that it can not find the correct DOS... Command.com, IO.sys and MSDOS.sys are all on the floppy! The only thing that is in the MSDOS.sys file is: ";format". Does anyone know of an actual update that works or what I can do to make the faster processer work with the mobo?
