If the original proc was 550 it will most likely show that until you reinstall windows. There's no jumpers on this thing...

Apparently your BIOS recognises your P3700 correctly if the BIOS is already reporting the new CPU correctly.
So the hardware is already upgraded to P3700.
Windows will only report the processor change correctly after Windows is re-installed. Despite this the system is already running the P3700 processor.
Sorry it taken so long until you got a response. I did not know what to offer until I read this thread through again carefully just now.

I would be tempted to believe the BIOS as to what speed the CPU is running at.
Maybe others can offer opinions on this point. From what I am told software that detects and monitors CPU speeds, temperatures and fan speeds - are not always accurate. Personally I think the BIOS is more accurate as to what CPU is installed and what speed it is running at, and what amount of RAM the board has installed.

Original or upgraded BIOS?
CPU - DFI 586IPVG, K6-2/+ 450 (Cyrix MII 433), i430VX, 128MB EDO.
BIOS patched by BiosMan (Jan Steunebrink).

Perhaps what you are reading as '700' in the BIOS is only part of the description string the BIOS reads off the CPU.
If this is the case, the actual speed that the BIOS reports the CPU to be running at is a different thing and could be a different figure.
Have a close look through your BIOS post screen and any pages, including summary if available, for settings or info that display what actual speed your BIOS reports the CPU to be running at.
You may just find a 550MHz in there. (If you do, you may be able to adjust the bus or multiplier if you know for a fact that your CPU is really a 700MHz.)

Is the thing "throttling" (like speed-step, etc...)?
