Solve : Bios not recognising a cpu upgrade ???

1.	Solve : Bios not recognising a cpu upgrade ???
Answer» I've GOT a MSI (mdl: MS-6728) 865PE Neo2-P mobo and was running an Intel P4, 2.8ghz cpu for a few years. BIOS is current from MSI (AMI v3.3) - at least their LiveUpdate5 utility SAYS so. I recently upgraded to an Intel P4, 3.4 ghz cpu but the bios still thinks that the old ONE is installed. All the bios setup parms seem to be in place but the MSI Core Center product seems to indicate that the multiplier is 14 I believe it is supposed to be 17 but in the bios setup it states that it is locked. and it looks like i'm running a 2.8 ghz cpu instead of a 3.4. Is there any way to figure out what might be wrong? http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/865PE_Neo2-P_Platinum_Edition_(MS-6728).html Motherboard has to be Rev 2.0C and BIOS 3.A ACCORDING to CPU support list linked above. Also what do you have for RAM installed? DDR333 or DDR400 as for this affects the multiplier.
