Upgrading from Celeron (R) to Pentium 4; Intel® D845GVSR (Sea Breeze) Mainboard

Hi Folks!

This is a tricky one!!!

I'm trying to upgrade my Intel Celeron ® 2.7GHz/128K/400MHz processor to an Intel Pentium 4 2.7GHz/1Mb/533MHz mainly to get more Cache memory (128K up to 1MB). I put the new processor in the mainboard (Intel® D845GVSR Sea Breeze) but the PC won't boot? I put back in the original processor and it works. The new processor is working, it's deffinatley not fried.

My BIOS id is SR84510B.44T.0015.P02 I believe that I need to upgrade the BIOS to at least P10 in order to run the pentium 4 processor. Does anyone know where I'll find this new BIOS/upgrade? I searched the intel site but no luck.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Here's all the previous released downloads for your board. Don't think anyone has flashed this board yet but if you read Brett VanKirk trend this should give you a good idea how it's done.

I checked the links but I still cannot find the exact BIOS type. I thought I found the solution on the Gateway web site, they had a BIOS update for SR84510A.xxxx but I need an update for SR84510B.xxxx...............close, but no cigar! This BIOS file seems very hard to find!

Thanks for your reply!

If you can't find a BIOS flash, you ac use any socket 478 processor on that board that suppotrs a 400 FSB
Here's a link to one - Should be Plug & Play!

Good Luck pirate

It may be slower clock speed, but it's aout as good as it gets if your board doesn't recognize a 533

Hi There,
I already bought a 533Mhz processor, so it looks like I'm stuck with it. I need at least 1MB Cache also. The 256KB is not much good to me.

Thanks,
Jimmy
