My barton 3000+ processor runs at 2.17 Ghz (13x166).
How is this calculated ????

Just like you have it 13x166. Multipler times FSB clock speed =cpu clock
speed. That 166MHz will actually be more like 166.67MHz though. Do the
math, 2166.71MHz or rounded to 2.17GHz.
BTW, all cpu speeds are calculated this way, not just AMD's.

Thanks in advance

The PR rating for most T-Breds is (rated speed: x 1.5 minus 500) For
example1533 x 1.5 minus 500) = 1800 Since the Barton has twice the L2
cache, AMD increased the PR numbers to reflect this.More like (speed x1.5
minus 100), for the Barton.

I think what the original poster was asking is how does AMD calculate
that a 2166.71MHz processor is a 3000+.
