172261 2003-09-01 12:31:00 1666Mhz as far as I know robsonde (120)
172262 2003-09-01 12:38:00 thanks I have just bought one that is supposed to be amd athlon xp 2000 have got it home and played around for a while but just noticed it is only 1.25 ghz.

Just need to check whether this is right or wrong?

172263 2003-09-01 12:42:00 sounds like you might have a setting on the MB to check......

might be the FSB is set too slow 100 vs 133

172264 2003-09-01 12:42:00 Definitly wrong. metla (154)
172265 2003-09-01 12:45:00 I have xp1800 and that is 1.6 gig,so seems unlikely yours will be 1.25.

in fact....Athlon XP 2000+ operates at 1.67 GHz
Athlon XP 1900+ operates at 1.60 GHz
Athlon XP 1800+ operates at 1.53 GHz
Athlon XP 1700+ operates at 1.47 GHz
Athlon XP 1600+ operates at 1.40 GHz
Athlon XP 1500+ operates at 1.33 GHz

172266 2003-09-01 12:45:00 If it has a clock speed of 1666, then the reported 1250 just happens to be 100/133 x 1666

That suggests your FSB speed is 100 MHz and should be 133 MHz.
Set it up according to your BIOS or motherboard and it may be all OK?

172267 2003-09-01 12:46:00 thanks having just posted that I see that other people have had this problem forums.infomaticsonline.co.uk am running 512 mb ddr ram how do I alter this setting to get the correct processor speed?

Is it relatively simple?

Thanks for all the help

172268 2003-09-01 12:50:00 Yep,relativly easy.

Step one,find the book on your motherboard...

why?

Because on some boards its a jumper,on others its a bios setting,either way the book should point you in the right direction.

172269 2003-09-01 12:54:00 from the bok it looks like i need to alter the bios " the bios utility can detect the system memory utility automatically. You can check the total system memory value in the bios standard cmos setup menu"

Is this the one? do I have to enter bios?
