NEWBIE
eMonster 600
Napoli-2A w/ Bios V1.13
400w PS

upgrading cpu to:

Intel Pentium III Slot 1 Processor
- 1 GHz
- SECC 2 Package
- Slot 1
- 133MHz Bus Speed
- 256KB L2 Cache
- 1.7v, S1 Core
- S-Spec: SL4BS

After physically installing the new CPU and powering on system, the system lights up, hd powers on, fan runs, but will not POST and will not fire up monitor. System works fine with the original 600 and also an old PII-233. Not sure if I'm missing some critical step in the upgrade or if this new CPU is defective. Is there something more to installing this 1.7v 133Mhz Bus cpu?

I agree... before I upgraded, I looked into the 1ghz... has to have a fsb of 100...and those are expensive. No dip switches or voltage settings need to be changed...its plug and play as long as you have a the chip with that 100FSB (pIII SL4KL or SL4BR)
