OK, now i know your all gonna say get a new computer, but at this moment, its not possible. I went and threw another processor on the motherboard (which i also cant find the spec for to know if it was ok, but it works) and then tried setting the speeds. Well after about 20 settings and 20 windows installs later, I am up and running.
I ran Bios Agent Plus and it said my bios was bad. Of course when you press the option to download the correct one, you have to pay $29.99. I've looked around with out luck. I am hoping someone can send me in the right direction. I am very interested in learning more about it anyhow, so i don't mind doing the research or reading if someone sends me in the right direction.
Here is the info for the BIOS:

Here's the system summary from Bios Agent:

This info here is from my Belarc Advisor about the mobo:
Board: 10 9188a10001
Serial Number: 110a2063kn55
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
And this is also a Belarc Advisor of my processor:
Processor
1000 megahertz Intel Pentium III
32 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Not hyper-threaded
I also was having issues not knowing what to set my spread spectrum clock. I tried several ones, read about it a bit, and found one person who said just disable it. that didn't work. Where am i supposed to find how to calculate those settings? I believe its set on -.06% I tried others .40 etc. but I kept getting BSOD. You'll ask what error but i forget.
If there is anymore information i can provide you with I'd be happy to.
Thank you for your time,

ADDED:
OK, so far I managed to find the usa.aopen.com info on the Motherboards>>MX3S>>BIOS and other info, I think maybe i might be in the right direction. I don't know how i manged to over look it before. I will post back.
I have flashed a BIOS one other time. And well, that laptop is a paperweight. I know the system is the MX3S, but I am not sure which BIOS version I should update it to. Do I do each one? Does that latest include what that second one included?
And it apears its not really suppose to suport the 1000mhz, but it is. IDK.. Any info is awesoem, Thanks guys
