To me, it sounds like your seller misled you. The system IS an HP Pavilion if
it has an HP motherboard, chassis, and power supply. It is an HP Pavilion
because it is subject to the exact technical limitations as the factory original
Pavilion system. Where the rest of the guts come from is incidental.
Everything that the seller put inside are generic parts, same as the generic
ones used by HP's contracted system assembler.
FSB speed is a function of the CPU installed, assuming that the motherboard is
also capable of supporting the same FSB speed.
The comparable Asus board uses an Award BIOS? Award and Phoenix have been part
of the same company for a few years now. HP and just about all the other name
brand computers plus Intel-designed motherboards, all use Phoenix BIOSes. Award
(and AMI) BIOSes now find their way into the non-Intel retail generic
motherboards... Ben Myers
