Also, do you know why your Pentium M 780 operates at 1.7 GHz? Based on HWInfo, 3dMark 2000, Windows XP, etc., this is normal. Your 2.26 GHz processor is also running at 1.7 GHz, and while it was 9, it's still annoying that the system starts properly but the memory speed isn't working right.

You'll need to view CPU screenshots.

Wait a moment. The 780M is a BGA package. Your board isn't a BGA chip. Likely a Pentium M 1.7GHz CPU. Check the part numbers to confirm compatibility. https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_M/Intel-Pentium M 1.7 GHz RH80535GC0291M

The 1.7 model comes from Banias Architecture. The 780 uses a 100 MHz FSB, while Dorian has a 133 MHz FSB. Switching from a 1.7GHz CPU to the newer 2.26Ghz one is logical since FSB varies by architecture. I’ve discovered a pin mod that bypasses the processor’s FSB using some wiring. Thanks to my recent research, these adjustments have improved my results. CPU-Z confirms the setup, but performance is still lower than expected due to architecture and FSB differences. RETROIDS.txt

Yes, it should be running at 533MHz with a 2267MHz CPU frequency. Confirming the details from the link.

I attempted the pin modification, but the lack of a suitable wire and the difficulty in securing the pins without bending them prevented it from turning on. Removing it worked perfectly, so I’m considering using a soldering iron to fix it.

All systems are set up except for the LAN driver. It isn’t possible to turn LAN on or off in the BIOS, yet the installation tool claims the device is already present. You’re stuck without a clear solution.

You installed version 7 of the software. Consider updating the service packs for further improvements.
