hey, i just recently got an athlon xp 2800XP, msi kt6v, and a geforce 6600gt. did something in the bios which the computer didn't boot up and ended up having to reset the cmos(remove the jbat jumper) then when i rebooted windows, it said the CPU is 1.2Ghz. i've finally clocked it so it actually says Athlon XP 2800+ (running @ 2.13Ghz) There was also a case where i was fooling w/ clock settings and when i started winxp, it said ATHLON XP 3000+ but is there a way i can investigate deeper on if it's the real deal?
