Thanks for the reply, now to answer your questions:

no, the new mobo did not come with a new processor.

I havent noticed any beeps upon start-up, just boot to the 1st boot screen. There tells me what type of medias I have installed, as it should. It list my hard-drive as being the master in the First IDE slot, and then reads my CD-rom as being in the second IDE slot. It of course shows the "Passed" results of the memory test, as well as the "Magic Health" bottom bar. It also tells me about my 80 conductor cable error, a Continued CMOS error with a new board even, (But i believe this is happeing because the boards bios has not yet been configured.)and now the new error (Warning! The processor has been changed, Please configure Processor in Bios....it even gives me a little warning rember and save before exit) It then gives me two options...press either F1 or Delete both lead to the same screen.

As for the Mobo, the odds of getting two bad ones in a row are rather low, and i believe the board is functioning correctly as it reads everything plus the absence of any error beeps as you already asked about. As for the processor, I am sure that the processor is good, As well as the Ram. The power supply is 500watt, it should have more than enough power to run the rig with no probs at all. And im sure that it is good as well.

I'll have a look for the jumper, but on the first boot screen it says that the processor is a Duron, which is what it should be, so im still not sure what the hell is going on...

Sorry to be such a burden, but fellas, I just dont know...
