Re: XP doesnt show correct CPU speed

Deviant: I'm no expert but I run an AMD Athlon xp1800+ processor and in my
BIOS there is a place to set the processor speed.
in my case its 100/100, 100/133, and 133/133 Those are my min and max in my
case and my BIOS is an AMI BIOS.
My setting for this is under something called CPU PnP
Suggest you look and see if you've something similar in your BIOS.
in Control Panel -> System the low speed reports my speed as 1.15Ghz and the
high as 1.53Ghz.
and if I'm not at the high the processor is not reported as the "right type"
says AMD Athlon but no "xp1800+" with it.
Hope that helps, if not you might try posting your MB type etc... and I'm
sure there's more knowledgeable folk out here that might know.
I just know my MB.
Best Regards, Dallas...
