Laptops/notebooks do tend to have cooling issues at times.. did you snoop
around in BIOS to see if everything is set properly (voltage, bus speed,
etc)?
I haven't gotten around to using a Coppermine CPU yet but my Katmai
(100MHz bus PIII, Slot 1) works fine :) I even got 501MHZ and change on a
500MHz CPU. Healthy thing it is :) Coppermines are the socket 370
PIII CPUs right? <shrug>
I wonder if maybe the power management hardware on that thing is causing
the voltage to drop and with that a slower CPU speed...
