Sorry Neil that all sounds a bit esoteric to me. Could you explain
further as I'm a dunce when it comes to hardware.

I've just upgraded from a P75 processor to a P133 on an old
Tulip TC44 Level 2 motherboard.

Problem is both the BIOS and the OS say it is a 60Mhz
CPU. Yet the CPU is definitely a P133 and all the jumpers
on the board are correctly set for the upgrade. I've even
done a BIOS upgrade with no improvement.

I note that there is space on the board for a 2nd level cache
module. Perhaps this has to be filled in order that the processor
operate at it's designated speed?

Any help from you hardware experts would be much appreciated
as I'm not familiar with these old processors.
