I bought a new AMD Athlon XP 2700+... and the sticker on the chip
says

that

it is a 2700... but in Windows XP... It says im only running a
2100+ ..

WHAT THE HECK???? Is it the wrong chip? Or is Windows? What do i
do? (This BTW is the SECOND chip cuz the first 2700+ chip I bought
did the same thing!)





Its an ASUS A7S333

According to ASUS that board can't take a 2700 (whether it may be able to
with a BIOS update, I don't know). There's a CPU table here
http://www.asus.com/support/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx.

It looks like the only AMD XP 2700+ sold, is the one with the 166 bus
speed. You may try to return the 2700/333 and get a 2600/266

It saiz that the 2700+ has a 333Mhz FSB... But that isnt an option
in my BIOS.

You gotta love these people who purchase processors without first
establishing whether their board can handle it. That board cannot take a
2700+. As Tod said, you may attempt to return it, but - usually - a company
will only take a CPU back if it's their error - not the customer's; and the
fault is clearly yours, because you failed to check whether your board was
capable of running the chip.

Best you can do is eBay, IMNSHO.

It appears that the Thorton is a Barton core with half the cache disabled.
I would assume that when AMD tests a Barton core and only half the L2 cache
will work,
it disables the bad half (leaving 256K) selling it as a Thorton, instead of
having to through
away the whole processor.

The 2700+ deffault settings are 13x166MHz. Sounds like you have yours set
to 13x133MHz, which is the speed of a 2100+. That's why it's reported as a
2100+. Your board (A7S333) doesn't officially support a 166MHz FSB, but I
think it will run it, assuming the rest of your components are up to the
task. If not, then you should leave the FSB at 133 and change the
multiplier to 16.5. That should give you 2700+ speeds (2200MHz). if you
can't get it stable, raise vcore a little until it is.

Marketing bull****. It's designed for a 166MHz FSB.

The cpu will run in his board, The only requirement is that the board
support a FSB of at least 50MHz. Now I'm not sure if the 745 chipset will
do 166MHz FSB, but that doesn't matter. He can still run it at 133 MHz and
get the speed up simply by changing the multiplier to 13 to 16 or 16.5.

All well and good, but has little meaning as to what cpu you can actually
run in the board. And it will run any of them, up to the 3200+. Just have
to know how to do it.

heh
are you even sure the SiS745 will do 50
