mb and windows wrong cpu detected
I have a msi kt3v motherboard and a amd xp2000. And both the mb and win xp
say it's a duron. I just flashed to the newest bios firmware and still the same. Any ideas what else to do thanks? Jay |

Check in the BIOS to see that the FSB is set to 133MHz and not 100Mhz.

I have done that. It is weird. It is running at the full speed but it sez
that its a duron. It makes no sense. Jay "Buffalo" wrote in message . net... Check in the BIOS to see that the FSB is set to 133MHz and not 100Mhz. "jay" jt wrote in message .com...

Probably just a 'glitch' in the BIOS. Try a program like wcpuid or aida
and see what it is listed as. Just cosmetics otherwise. http://www.h-oda.com/ clk on download and select Wcpuid 3.1a. http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php "jay" wrote in message m... I have done that.

Are you sure you don't have one of the new 1600MHz Durons? I can see where that might get reported as a 2000+ Duron. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
