Ok, got an IBM netfinity 5000.....

Its got a pentium 3 450mhz cpu....

But i got two pentium 3 733s to put in it...

But when i put one in it says the processor isnt compatible....

can anyone shed some light?
 
It is a post message...but i cant find a bios upgrade....

message is: 01298001 The BIOS does not support the current stepping of processor #1
 
I cant find a bios to upgrade this to....or anyway to update the bios....

and there are no stories on the net of one of these servers running a 733mhz processor.....may have to buy a new server.....
