What would cause the BIOS to see a Pentium 111 500MHz processor as only a 400MHz processor?

It does not "see it", it simply displays the frequency it is running at!
Try changing the multiplier or FSB frequency in BIOS to make it run at 500MHz.
Some BIOSes on old boards were poorly written and "forgot" to raise the FSB.

How much RAM can an Intel Pentium MMX CPU support?
The processor is capable of addressing up to 4 GB of RAM. Chipset / motherboard limitations may make the possible max for a system less than that.
Can you use Intel Pentium II and Intel Pentium III processors on the same motherboard?
This would all depend on your actual motherboard. Some boards do take a Pentium 3 chip. If you know the model of your board, then check the manufacturers website, for details of the maximum mhz allowed for it. If you don't know the model number, then go to Google, and download a program called belarc advisor. Once installed, this will give you the in's and out#s of your PC. All hardware, and software installed. If you find the board does take a Pentium 3 CPU, then you will need to purchase a 'slotty'. Basically this is a piece of hardware, that turns the black CPU, into a normal CPU. It slots inside the same place as the original CPU. With the added advantage of a heatsink and fan, which can be plugged onto the board. Hope this helps be safe
What is the worst possible processor to date?
To judge a processor as "bad", you have to ignore their performance relative to the newest ones on the market. Processors improve all the time, so just because one is older, slower, and lacks as many features as newer ones does not make the older one necessarily bad, just obsolete: The worst processor in terms of quality control was probably the earliest editions of the original Pentium processor. These processors contained two infamous bugs. One was the f00f bug, which was a faulty instruction that could easily cause the processor to crash under normal operation. The second is known as the FDIV bug, which caused significant (though statistically uncommon) errors in floating point calculations. Intel replaced these processors free of charge for the lifetime of the processor, and the flaw was quickly fixed. All VIA C3 processors offered performance less than half of that of a Pentium III at the same clock rate. The VIA C3 was meant to compete on power efficiency and heat output, not performance, so this may not be an important failing. Later models of the Pentium 4 had a performance equivalent of an AMD processor with 2/3 the clock rate. Basically, the Pentium 4 needed an extra GHz to match an AMD Athlon 64 in performance.
How important is word processor?
i think its ridiculous ,cause i asking what do you think word processor is impotant then i'll answer it
Did just cause run in 2gb ram without graphic card in Pentium 4?
yes use 3d analyzer
What might cause the Windows XP installation program to freeze on an Intel Pentium III computer?
Some possible reasons include: 1. You don't have enough RAM. 2. Your installation disc is dirty or damaged. 3. If the lockups occur during copying to the hard drive, you may have a damaged hard drive. 4. Your processor may be overheating. Check it's fan.
What is processor heat sensor?
a part in a motherboard It's exactly what it sounds like. The heat sensor for a processor measures the current temperature of that processor. This allows the computer to shut itself down if the temperature climbs high enough to cause physical damage to its components.
What are the two common problems overclocking a PC can cause?
it can cause system instability(bsd or boot problems ) and if its done wrong it can burn ur processor
Why does your tv turn its self off?
This is mostly due to the micro processor within the main power supply, the major cause for this is that the processor has had a power spike or brown out, the latter being the key culprit. The TV would have suffed a dramatic loss in power then the power is restored and often blows the micro processor.
A 1.4 GHz laptop is operating at 800 MHz, the MOST likely cause is that?
a processor throttling technology is being used
Why might a specialized cooler be required to overclock a computer?
cause the processor reaches high temperatures that might burn it .permanently...
Can the processor cause blue screen?
Yes. It is possible, but extremely unlikely. It is almost always caused by a bad driver or bad software.
