On my 95 Gateway P5133 XL I have added a 200 Mhz Intel Overdrive Processor a
couple of years ago. When my computer boots up it has always said Pentium
133 when going thru boot pages before going to desktop.
This is not a real problem, all runs well and Nortons and several other
testers say it is a Genuine Intel 199 Mhz CPU.  I asked a Gateway "tech"
once if that could be changed and said no, it is in the computer settings to
say that even though it has a 200 CPU. When I go into setup upon boot up it
says Genuine Intel  133 Triton Chip , it does not let me change that , all
the changeable settings are below that , there is not even an option to
change that as I see it.

1) Is there somewhere to change that ? I have tried to change registry
settings to read Gateway in system properties but since reformatting it only
says Genuine Intel Processor ,80 megs Ram. I am at a loss here also to
change that , have read your page info on updating settings but I seem to
not have grasped it.

2) Is there a way to not have Win 98 go through two start up pages before
going to desktop. it seems when I used Win.3.1 there was a way to disable
those boot pages .

3) My bios is already at the max flash from factory on my Ameritrends board,
bios is Brothers 1.00.10
At least I think it is

thanks in advance
