You must check the cpu frequence in the bios.
When you set this on 133 Mgh, I think the problem is gone. Greatings Hugo Roubroeks "Sean Berry" schreef in bericht news:WgNcc.4347$Wo6.2091@fed1read03... 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 the FSB to166 (assuming your board supports it) and then you will have a 2700+ running at 2166MHz. Set it to 180, well, you get the picture. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Your FSB is at 100MHz. Raise it to 133MHz and you'll see 2000MHz, what it should be. |

I screwed up. 13x166 is the 2700+:-) Although with a lot of luck and enough vcore, you might get 15x166 (2500MHz), but not likely. 15x144 should be though, for the same 2166MHz. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
