Put in a 1ggn processor ( markings are 1000/256/133/1.75V SL52R) and seems
to work, tho has a boot error:

"1801-Microcode Patch Error
Missing or Invalid Processor Microcode Patch. Please contact Compaq Computer
Corporation for a new rom bios to support the new processor stepping"

IT has "F1:Boot" in white on blue background, and when i press f1 it boots.

any ideas for the error? i assume it needs a bios update? if it does where
can i get it from? compaq web/tech support didnt even reply to my original
question!






Did you update your bios before you put in the new processor?
