| 172270 | 2003-09-01 12:56:00 | I would go so far as to say AMD has since started the True Performance Initiative (TPI). This has received mixed reviews from consumers who often see the XP model numbers as an attempt to be misleading, but this really isn't the case. What the XP model numbers are trying to communicate is the relative application performance. The real goal is base "performance" ratings on IPC (Instructions executed Per Clock cycle) x MHz = TPI. A bit of plagiarism dosen't go amiss. |

| 172273 | 2003-09-01 21:22:00 | If your motherboard came with a Quick Start sheet, read that. It will tell you how to set the processor FSB to 'Auto' or 133MHz. For example, on the Gigabyte GA7VAX series boards, they have a little blue switch near the PCI slots that will switch it from 100MHz FSB to Auto to let you run your porcessor at 133MHz. |

| 172274 | 2003-09-01 23:06:00 | Hi . What is you motherboard make and model including rev number? As an aside what is your ram rated at, mhz not MB . AFAIK motherboards that accept BIOS instruction to set the multiplyer automatically still require a jumper to be set on the motherboard . You didn't happen to be running a Duron on this board prior to getting the XP, were you? Cheers Murray P |

| 172275 | 2003-09-02 09:15:00 | It now loooks like I have to change the FSB from 100mhz to 133mhz to gain full processor speed for my motherboard (unless I was sold a dud in the first place?) . The setting to alter the fsb in the bios is greyed out and does not appear to be alterable, I can find no refereence to altering the fsb in my motherboard manual in fact nothing further than the "BIOS utility can detect the system memory automatically"-. However, this does not appear to be working. My motherboard Is a shuttle AK38n, I have 512mb ddr ram Thanks for all the help I hopoe to have this computer running to its full capabilities soon. cheers jim |

| 172276 | 2003-09-06 03:22:00 | Hello I have a/an xp1800, on a gigabyte GA-7VKML MB with 780 odd mb of PC2100/DDR Ram, running at 1.1ghz Can't find in bios how to switch from 100 to 133 but is a blue switch on mb set to "on " Anybody got an idea ? I was told I would have to update drivers but that is a risky idea is it not? Haven't found much at the website tw.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-7VKML.htm Downloading the manual but going to take a while :-( Thanks |

| 172277 | 2003-09-06 04:03:00 | have a read of the mother board book. on about page 9 or 10 you should find a bit about CPU instaltion and setting the system clock for 100 or 133. |
