What's SW-1? do you mean CLK_SW? it's set to auto.
The other position equals to 100Mhz, i even tried this one but nothing changes.

 > What multiplyer did settings did you use?

First (with my previous barton 2500) it was set to auto, this way the
new xp-m boots at 600mhz. Now i set it to 11x, and i achieved a 1100
Mhz cpu speed (fsb is always 100x2 )

 > Did you clear the Bios when installing a different processor?

Err.. no! I just loaded default settings. Do you think this could be
the reason?
....going to try...
Thanks!

Yes, you are right it is CLK_SW. Sounds like that is all ok.
In "Advanced Chipset Features" set the FSB to 166 mHz or what ever ½ of the
max. CPU FSB frequency is.

Try BIOS FK.

You do know that XP-Mobile support is not guaranteed by Gigabyte, right?
Since the 2500+ that you had and the 2600 you are trying to use both require
the same FSB, I have an awful suspicion that the 2600 Mobile is not
compatible with your board - else the board would recognise the FSB. Still,
try the latest BIOS (above) if you haven't already.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Whatever FSB speed i set in Advanced Chipset feature, the board
won't boot at all.
Then i re-boot and it's always locked to 100Mhz.
Don't know what to do... :-/
