Ok guys, just picked up another comp that was given to me.

Didnt work, replaced the video card, now it does.

But the problem that I am having is that when I go into the BIOS, it shows it as a Pentium 3 processor 500 Mhz, but when I go into System info, it shows a P 2 497 Mhz.

Why would it show P 3 in Bios but P2 in system info?
