    I bought this lappy knowing it's a cheap machine but I was hoping I could make it half way decent by replacing the 1.5 Celeron M 370 w/400 FSB with a P-M 740 1.73 533 FSB. The chipset is a Via VN800 and it says its compatible up to 533 and 800. When I replaced the Celeron with the P-M, the cpu underclocks to 1.3 with a 400fsb and stuck at a 100 bus speed. The stock ram is DDR2 rated for 533 but it only runs at 266. When I replaced the ram with anything else, the computer will not boot up. Is there any way to force the fsb up to 533? I looked on the via page and I couldn't find anything. I don't know a whole lot about this but I would appreciate any help.
