Sorry if this question doesn't belong here, but I figured someone
could help.

I bought an OEM AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor from a local computer
store yesterday.

I am going to primarily run FreeBSD on it, but tried it with XP just
for kicks. When I right clicked the "My Computer" icon and went to
properties it says under "Computer":

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+
1.49 GHz
1.00 GB of RAM

So, I ran wcpuid and it came up with:
Processor: AMD Athlon XP (Model 8)
Name String: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+

What gives???
Did I get ripped off, and do I now need to set some people staight?

Any help here is greatly appreciated.


set your FSB to 133, it's running at 100
