No HT with that p4,2.8,400fsb cpu. The lowest HT cpu is 3.06 GHz,533fsb which you can't use in that GX240. I did some checking on Dells forum and it seems the 240 will take the p4 2.8,400fsb cpu but you have to use bios A01 or A02 as any newer bios from A03 to A05 will stop the 2.8 cpu at 2.2 GHz while operating. Get the older bios here. http://support.dell.com/support/down...BIOS&typecnt=1

This is the correct cpu Intel spec #SL7EY,2.8 GHz you need at the lowest price I found. http://www.starmicro.net/detail.aspx?ID=542

I upgraded the cpu to a 2.8 GHz Celeron 400fsb 256 L2 cache. The bios detected the cpu as 2.8 GHz, system speed 133 and bus speed 100. Shouldn't that bus speed be read 400? It won't give me any change options in the bios. Is it a jumper setting?

Do I have to change the bios?

Obviously I don't understand all I know!

Help?

Tnx,
OMDFS
