A customer has updated the bios on a VP535 using 31g1105d. When the machine boots, the CPU speed is reported as 166Mhz on the start up banner. Is this correct or has something gone wrong? Will it cause problems? [Also the .txt message says the 535 has a 135Mhz processor- hopefully this is only a typo- or have we over or under clocked the CPU? ] Ron Powell.

Mine does this too - but only sometimes. Other times it correctly reports 133MHz. It doesn't seem to cause any harm. The BIOS gets this from a code supplied by the CPU, it doesn't actually "time" it. Steve | |||||

No, the BIOS does not cause the Pentium to run faster. We screwed up
on the confirmation message.

Many thanks, a much relieved customer is now apparent! Ron. | |||||
