<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I found a Slot 1 266 PII processor in
my collection of junk and deceided</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to fit it to the spare slot on the main
processor board.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Although it was detected it was ignored
by BIOS, came up with TEST FAIL. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One of the network guys at work told
me that it must be a special</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">"Digital (tm)" processor.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is this true, where processors "serialised"
so as they only worked</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in Propritery motherboards? or a more
