Hi i recently bought at 2800+ XP I have it on a: SOLTEK 75FRN2-L NFORCE2 SOCKETA DUAL DDR AGP8X 5PCI ATA133 SOUND LAN I was told that they would work together. Well my problems is that it shows the CPU to be a 2200+ for some reason. I have checked the CPU and it is a 2800+ I also checked my BIOS and it only shows the frontside bus to be 100 or 133 and not even the 166 normal setting for a 2800+ What's wrong and more importantly what should i do?
when it showed the 2200, was that at startup or the next screen that shows floppy,hd,cd,ram,serial¶llel ports & cpu actual speed
This is related to your bios settings though. It thinks you have a 2200 because your bios tells it that.
i had that problem with a customer's new computer i built with an AMD 2500+, bios was setup properly, it posted as a 2500 but showed the actual speed as 2gig on the next screen. the fact i knew about the 20% difference between post speed & actual speed meant i didn't have to worry about it
I actually fixed it. The problem what some kinda jumper node on my motherboard. I just had to move something over on my frontside bus... it works great now. Thanks for all the input!
